Celebrating Reading Recovery in a bilingual world 📚✨
We were delighted to mark the launch of Reading Recovery in a Bilingual Context – The Case of Malta.
This important new publication, developed by the National Literacy Agency in Malta, showcases the impact of Reading Recovery in supporting young learners—particularly in bilingual and disadvantaged contexts. The book highlights how expert teaching, personalised intervention, and culturally responsive practice can transform children’s literacy journeys.
A special moment at our recent Teacher Leader Development Meeting at the Marino Institute of Education in Dublin was the presentation of the book by Mr David Muscat of the National Literacy Agency in Malta to Dr Sue Bodman, continuing international collaboration that strengthens Reading Recovery worldwide.
đź‘Ź Congratulations to all involved, especially the Teacher Leaders whose research underpins this work.

You’ve got this!
