HEROES is a literacy intervention for 6-9 year olds who have IEPs for beginning reading and was funded by a grant for the US Department of Education’s Education and Innovation and Research Programme.
 
In this webinar, Jerome will discuss how external evaluation of this intervention found that children with reading disabilities made significant progress, and effective intervention for children with reading disabilities will be discussed from both a research and practice perspective. 

This event will be particularly useful for those interested in literacy teaching and learning across the life course, literacy policy and practice.
