What is CLG?

CLG (P2)

Closing the Literacy Gap (P2) was developed using the Reading Recovery model. Reading Recovery is a literacy intervention developed in New Zealand by Marie Clay. This programme aims to help the school to adapt teaching to “meet the learning needs of… children.” (Clay, p4).

The main aim of the intervention is to equip your child with strategies to become more independent when reading and writing.

CLG (transition)

Closing the Literacy Gap (transition) has been developed using principles from Reading Recovery, a literacy intervention developed in New Zealand by Marie Clay. East Ayrshire developed this intervention to use with pupils in upper primary/early secondary who find reading difficult.

The CLG support is in addition to reading support within the class and will give your child regular opportunities to implement strategies to become a more confident and more competent reader.
