ABSTRACT

This chapter is a revised version of an article in the Education Journal Issue 156, 2013: 14–16. A brief note was added following the publication of an IMPACT pamphlet in 2014, based on an article in the Education Journal Issue 188: 12–13. The reference to the largescale research in Kent in the 1950s by Joyce Morris has been added for this revised edition, as has the reference to the Report of the National Reading Panel.
