We cover an overview of the workshops and coaching available for your school to be able to implement a structured and consistent approach to literacy across the school.
You’ll gain a greater understanding of Scarborough’s Reading Rope, and how this affects high quality literacy teaching.
We take an initial look at Gough and Tumner’s Simple View of Reading; how and why their research, amongst that of others, has been referred to as ‘The Science of Reading’.
