Reading for pleasure in paradise: paired reading in Antigua and Barbuda

Reading for pleasure is essential in the development of literacy. This paper reports on findings from a paired reading strategy introduced into primary schools in Antigua and Barbuda in order to foster children's pleasure in reading. This programme of cross‐age peer tutoring intervention began with the training of teachers in a small group of seven schools and was extended to all the schools on the islands in the following year. Qualitative research data from children and teachers showed that children were enthusiastic about the experience, with some evidence to show that their wider interest in reading was stimulated. Although for the pupils, particularly the younger ones, the main benefit of shared reading was perceived to be an improvement in reading skills, for teachers, it was the increase in children's confidence in reading that was cited as the most positive outcome. Although resource constraints in some schools did limit the scope of the programme, the paper argues that it boosted the reading development of a number of children and may have acted as a catalyst for stimulating a lasting pleasure and joy in reading.

The storm of the century! Promoting student enthusiasm for applied statistics

This article describes a hands‐on activity that has been used with students aged 12–18 years to promote the study of Statistics. We believe there is evidence to suggest an increase in student enthusiasm for Statistics at school, within the Mathematics curriculum, but also within other subjects such as Geography. We also believe that the use of such activities has resulted in some students giving more serious thought to studying Statistics at University. The activity described here is supported with a web‐based application to allow younger or less experienced students to engage with the material.     

Key stimuli and the recognition of the physical environment by the paradise fishMacropodus opercularis

Recognition of features of the physical environment by the paradise fish was examined in the course of passive avoidance conditioning, in the presence of a key-stimulus-carrier dummy. During conditioning, the fish were placed into one of two differently arranged shuttle-tanks according to a random schedule. If a fish entered the dark compartment of one of the tanks it was punished by shock or, for some groups, confronted by a predator-like dummy; the other tank was safe and without the dummy. It was found that in the presence of the key stimulus carrier, associative learning was concentrated on the stimulus carrier, and that the less salient features of the physical environment were not associated with the punishment.
