This is certainly one of the highlights of schools being closed since March – Dan’s class of pupils from our local community. Several days a week Dan will listen to the children read (as well as teach them). He must hear them read their borrowed storybook before they borrow another book (at their level). Although learning has stagnated for thousands of children across the country, these children are making great progress with their reading… and having books to read certainly makes a difference!
