  • The Core Reading Programme 2018-2019 Programme Report
    THE CORE READING PROGRAMME 2018-2019 PROGRAMME REPORT AMY DA COSTA, MSC., F/AOGPE READING PROGRAMME COORDINATOR GENERAL BASICS OF PROGRAMME STRUCTURE The Reading Clinic offers tutoring for students with a pattern of dyslexia using the Orton-Gillingham approach. This is a multi-sensory approach to reading and spelling. It is a highly structured, phonetic and rule-based programme which has been found to be successful in helping those who struggle to learn the basic skills of reading and/or spelling due to specific learning differences. Students who have had an assessment and who have been identified as having a learning difference consistent with a specific reading disability/dyslexia are eligible for tutoring. Students will usually receive 3 one-hour tutoring sessions per week by an Orton-Gillingham trained tutor. Sessions take place either before or after school, or during the school day when provisions are made within the child’s class schedule. Students are generally enrolled in the programme for approximately 2 years. Students who have been enrolled for either 36 sessions or 4 months or more are tested in April/May each year to ascertain their current academic achievement level and recommendations for supports and continuation are made to the parents based on the child’s results. PARTICIPANTS IN THE PROGRAMME (2018-19) The continued focus of the Core Reading Programme has been on helping students in the early primary years that have a pattern of dyslexia. Students with dyslexia have relative weaknesses in working with the sounds of the language (phonological awareness) and/or with ‘rapid naming’.

The Committee’s mandate was, briefly stated, to undertake a fundamental review of Bermuda’s national security needs, to assess the resources required to meet those needs and to make recommendations on the structures and organization required. It quickly became apparent to the Committee that its remit was, in many respects, a groundbreaking undertaking and that the inquiry marked the first time that such a wide-ranging and comprehensive assessment of the Island’s security capabilities has been carried out. The Committee believes that its Final Report appropriately fulfils its mandate. In approaching its task, the Committee received volumes of information not only from uniformed organizations such as the Bermuda Regiment, the Bermuda Police Service and HM Customs, but also from a diverse and broad cross-section of the community with a keen interest in and a passionate commitment to ensuring that Bermuda is well served in all aspects of security.
