UK Reading expert visits Boughton Leigh Infant School

One of the UK’s leading experts on teaching children to read visited a Rugby infant school where pupils follow the literacy programme she devised.

Ruth Miskin OBE was at Boughton Leigh Infant School (BLIS) in Brownsover for a regional meeting with head teachers and teachers.

All BLIS pupils follow her Read Write Inc phonics literacy programme which is designed to create fluent readers, confident speakers and willing writers.

Before getting down to formal business, Ruth took time out to meet pupils and talk to them about their learning.

She is pictured above with a child from each class and Head teacher Andrew Moorcroft.
