Teacher's top award for work on structured literacy

This year Nga Hau e Wha Resource Teacher of Learning and Behaviour Amie Roberts won both the Apple Award, and a Teacher Mentor Special Award, for her work in implementing Structured Literacy into schools around Wellington. Her own journey into specialising in teaching structured literacy came from watching her own son struggle to read. She tells Kathryn her story.
