for good children’s books ,which has set off a large quantity of films and an increased sales of

books boom has affected only the top of the educational pile . Either way , Chancellor Cordon

Brown plans to change things for the bottom of the class .In his pre-budget report , he announced

the national project of Reading Recovery to help the children struggling most.

half-hour classes with a specially trained teacher . An evaluation either this year reported that

children on the school made 20 months’ progress in just one year, whereas similarly weak readers

without special help made just five months’progress ,and so ended the year even further below the

level expected for their age.
