Best practice in trust wide approaches to reading
The presentation given to the Confederation for School Trusts Annual Conference in October 2023.
Scholastic Reading Audit
This is a sample of what a primary school Scholastic Reading Audit looks like. There are two other versions of the audit, one for secondary schools, and a Trust wide report that covers all schools in your trust.
The Key Issues and Trends in the Teaching of Reading in the UK
This report into the key issues and trends in the teaching of reading is the latest compendium based on the results of the past two years of schools completing the Scholastic Reading Audit.
The Daily Reading Lesson
The Daily Reading Lesson has been designed to help primary school leaders understand the issues surrounding the teaching of reading to children between the ages of 6 and 11. It provides you with a blueprint for successful, robust and evidence-based teaching that leads to higher outcomes, with the benefit of lower teacher workload.
Take part in our CST reading project
At the Confederation of School Trusts Annual Conference, we started a two-year study to see whether schools that work together in trusts have a more coherent, better researched and evidence-based reading policy with stronger outcomes than schools that are not part of trusts.
To take part in this study, which is free of charge, the first step is to get in touch with Rachel Partridge at rpartridge@scholastic.co.uk.
