The Daily Reading Lesson

Scholastic launched the Scholastic Reading Audit over four years ago, a comprehensive tool designed to support primary school teachers and leaders in teaching children to read. Over the years, we have seen some truly brilliant examples of schools that teach reading effectively, consistently and passionately. Over 1000 schools have taken the audit and some trends have emerged that suggest additional support is needed in some schools to help focus more on how reading is taught to children ages 6 to 11, and the policies, training and resources we use to support this. We see a large majority of schools with reading on their school improvement plan, but few schools with a whole-school policy for teaching reading to address this challenge. To that end, we approached Rachel Clarke to create the Daily Reading Lesson to help provide a solution.

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. It presents a model that can be applied in every classroom, enabling every teacher to develop deeper knowledge of teaching children to read as well as giving the best teachers the freedom to thrive and adapt to the needs of their children.
