Abstract
Wizards of Words (WoW) is a school based reading programme which aims to improve children’s reading skills and help them become better and more confident readers. The programme pairs first and second class primary school students who are nominated by their classroom teachers for extra reading support with an appropriate older volunteer (aged 55 or over).
This report presents the findings from year two of the study which involved (a) a process study of implementation and organisation of WoW in Limerick, and on the ongoing organisation of the programme in Dublin and (b) an outcomes study which used an experimental design to examine the effectiveness of the programme in achieving positive outcomes for the participating children.
