Improving reading: a handbook for improving reading in key stages 3 and 4 (National Strategies: secondary)

Abstract

"This handbook explores what it means to be a reader and some core challenges and skills that need to be addressed in the teaching of reading. The handbook outlines a route to improvement that can be followed to ensure that all pupils make expected levels of progress so that they can become skilled and independent readers. Detailed guidance is provided for each stage of the improvement process: gathering and analysing information; writing the improvement plan; evaluating planning, approaches to teaching and learning and the assessment of reading. Subject leaders can decide which stages of the process their department is confident with and which areas need to be developed further. Each section provides relevant resources and tools to guide and support this work." - National Strategies website
