At ISS we have almost finished assessing all the student's reading so that we know exactly where to pitch the learning for your child.
At ISS we focus on reading for meaning and comprehension. This means that we aim for our students to understand everything they read, as opposed to moving as fast as they can through the levels. It is always interesting to meet a child who can read everything on a page, but cannot understand or interpret it. I did some more research and found a website with lots of information about the importance of children being developmentally ready to read. If you are interested in the neuroscience behind reading, have a look at Children of the Code.
