Butterfly Book

Saturday Morning Reading Mastery School

The Roger Diamond Foundation (RDF) runs supplementary reading and writing mastery classes for children aged 5 to 11 at Saturday morning schools during term time. These are usually held in community centres, schools and other suitable venues across London. 

Local parents like us to use the phonics based Butterfly Book by Irina Tyk. We place the children in classes according to their reading ages. For reading ages eight plus, we use the Butterfly grammar and comprehension books. Our volunteer teachers use carefully researched, proven effective whole-class teaching methods. Tailored training and ongoing support for RDF classroom teachers and assistants is provided. 

All our regular classroom volunteers over the age of 16 have Enhanced DBS Certificates.

Primary Purpose of RDF: To promote literacy and empower children from disadvantaged backgrounds.

The Saturday School is for: Children falling behind with reading aged 5-11 years.

Times: Depending on venue - between 10:00am and 12:00pm

Venue: Various in RBKC and WCC.

Who requested this: Local Parents - for local Families in our communities and nearby!
