Get Hounslow Reading is a long-term borough-wide commitment to improving children’s life chances through inspiring them to read and to ensure reading is at the heart of its provision for all children.
The skill – how to read, is being addressed through using SSPs in Primary schools. Revisiting the training and expectations of best practise in Phonics and early reading teaching and reinforcing the mandate to ensure every child is taught to read in Primary school.
The will – what to read, when to read, wanting to read above any other activity now needs to be addressed and considered with the same rigour as teaching Phonics and early reading. The Reading for Pleasure (RfP) pedagogy is a living pedagogy that is crafted from an evidence base and continues to be reviewed and researched by the Open University.
