| Abstract: | The learning gains in reading of students in 57 classrooms in special primary education doubled as a result of implementing the Reading Impulse in Special Education (RISE) programme. Raising the scheduled reading time with 1.5 hr in all classrooms and implementing standards-based teaching characterised by “monitoring of pupil progress”, “reflection on own teaching”, and “setting targets” are the most important explanations for the improvement in pupils’ reading achievements. |
