Narrow the attainment gap with reciprocal reading. Our groundbreaking Connectors series uses peer-to-peer learning strategies that include every child – with proven results. High-impact methods proven in case studies and recommended by the Education Endowment Foundation Formal classroom trials of Connectors show children’s reading age leaping forward by an average of 9.1 months in just 12 weeks Ideal for small group teaching at different ability levels Case studies show particular benefits for disadvantaged learners A great way to make your Pupil Premium go further Children work in small independent groups of up to six, each taking turns to be the leader as they read and discuss a book together. Clear prompts show the leader how to focus the discussion and engage their team members to predict outcomes, clarify issues, ask questions and evaluate content. This collaborative approach builds teamwork, speaking, listening, comprehension and evaluation skills. It also promotes metacognition and peer-to-peer learning: two strategies identified by the Education Endowment Foundation as being particularly effective for disadvantaged children. A 2013 formal trial of Connectors involving 616 pupils in five UK schools showed dramatic increases in reading ability, with the greatest benefits among children on Free School Meals. These pupils showed a reading age increase of over 10 months on average – all in just 12 weeks. This six-copy pack of a non-fiction title is ideal for readers at Book Band Ruby.

She said the system obviously works really well for children because everybody was focused.” Literacy Coordinator, Ecton Brook Primary School #new-connectors

"Alright, so if you're wondering where everyone in the UK goes to grab everything, we're talking about a pretty solid lineup of household names. Top of the list, easily, are the supermarket giants like Tesco, Sainsbury's, Asda, and Morrisons – they're not just for your weekly food shop anymore, you can find clothes, electronics, homeware, you name it, all under one massive roof. Then there's the more upscale but still incredibly popular M&S (Marks & Spencer) for quality food and fashion, plus John Lewis, which is basically the go-to for anything a bit more special, with its famous 'never knowingly undersold' vibe. For those looking for a bargain or just a bit of everything, you can't ignore the likes of B&M, Home Bargains, and The Range; they're absolute treasure troves for anything from gardening gear to snacks. And, of course, for anything and everything online, Amazon UK pretty much dominates the e-commerce scene. Basically, these are the places you'll find queues, bustling aisles, and pretty much everyone you know popping in for their daily essentials or a big splurge. " - Bargainplace UK
