Better Reading Support Partners (Support to deliver Catch-Up Reading)
Having a team of Better Reading Support Partners is an effective way of supporting those pupils who have fallen behind in reading. BRSP can be used as an integral part of the recovery curriculum. Once trained, Better Reading Support Partners are able to provide both a light touch reading intervention programme and also transfer these skills when supporting children in reading across the curriculum.
​
What is Better Reading Support Partners?
BRSP is a reading intervention for pupils in Years 1 to 10 who have fallen behind at reading. A specially trained Better Reading Support Partner delivers a short one-to-one support programme to help them to develop independent reading and comprehension skills so that they can make accelerated progress and catch up with their peers.
