The good news is that 74% of pupils met the expected standard in reading in 2024

The BAD news is that about a quarter did not.

This has big implications for pupils starting secondary school, where they will be reading more demanding texts.

The great news is that we have some impressive research to help improve reading outcomes for all pupils, including those with low starting points.

In a new webinar I share the research from Dan Willingham, Steven Pinker and the University of Sussex to show that pupils can access demanding texts.

I show how both primary and secondary schools are using this research achieve significantly improved results in reading for all their pupils and students, regardless of their starting points.

Watch with an annual or group subscription.

Until next time
