English in the News: Tom Rank Surveys Media Coverage of English (Media Studies)

By English Drama Media

Release : 2008-06-01

Kind : ebook

(0 ratings)
It's official: doctors show that reading is good for you. Just flicking over this page in the search for something more worthy improves motor skills--though perhaps not as much as when you were two. The Guardian reported Boston University's Professor of Paediatrics Barry Zuckerman as saying: 'You can imagine if someone technologically came up with a widget that would stimulate all aspects of a two-year-old's development, everyone would want to buy it.' Well, Professor, perhaps not if they can't develop elaborate reading schemes, expensive training programmes and then national tests to ensure every child's reading is placed in a league table. At least there was some good news for Reading Recovery, which was described as 'particularly striking' by Schools Minister Andrew Adonis and, more reassuringly, by an Institute of Education study. Sats all folks!
