Day 1: 30 January 2024
Start time: 15:45
End time: 16:45

Venue: Online

With the recent KS2 national average for reading at 73%, it is imperative that we identify how best to support the remaining 27% of pupils who are not managing to attain the expected level in reading. It is critical that we ensure that we have systems and support processes in place which can help to both reduce this statistic, as well as supporting those in KS3 who are already reading below their peers. Join me for a webinar where we will discuss strategies, pedagogical approaches and the expectations from Ofsted, in this critical area.

During the webinar you will develop your knowledge and understanding of:

• Reading theory – how do we learn to read?
• Phonics – is this still appropriate for older pupils?
• Developing Fluency
• Practicalities of implementation
• Expectations from Ofsted
