Abstract |
In
Scotland, since the mid-1990s there has been a marked increase in
interest from policymakers in the setting up of early intervention
projects. These projects have been aimed at preventing early reading
failure and have been targeted at children attending schools situated
in areas of socio-economic disadvantage.
This research project gathered both quantitative assessment data, and
qualitative interview, diary and questionnaire data from a cluster of
6 primary schools and 4 nursery schools taking part in a self-initiated
and self-funded project. |
