“Read with me”: How teachers in Aarhus support parents to improve their children's reading skills

Costs and savings

All written materials were supplied in nine languages, the film was translated into six languages. The materials can be found at www.aarhus.dk/read. The cost of the material provided to one child and its parents in the READ-project is 600 kr. (about £65 or €80), ignoring the cost of wages. READ did not require employment of more staff, as the training of parents was done through the existing teachers, who themselves were trained through a 3 hour course.
