Schools meeting govt decree for hour of reading, math per day

Schools say they are having no trouble meeting the government's decree that they teach reading, writing and maths for an hour a day each on average.
And many have already adopted the government's favoured approach to reading - structured literacy which focuses on learning the sounds of letters.
The OECD's Pisa study shows 21 percent of New Zealand 15-year-olds are poor readers and 29 percent are bad at maths.
