Headsprout Early Reading in Special Schools (HERiSS)

Many children with SEND struggle to learn to read and the considerable attainment gap in reading for children with SEND increases across the key stages.

The HERiSS project will evaluate the effects of a computer-based early reading programme on reading skills for children with special educational needs and disabilities in special schools.

This is the first special school project funded by the Educational Endowment Foundation (EEF).

Please see information sheet below for further details.
