About this course

This course provides research‑informed strategies to help teachers support all pupils in becoming confident, capable readers who are well‑placed to reach the expected standard by the end of Year 6. It explores the essential knowledge and skills that underpin effective reading comprehension teaching, offering practical, actionable approaches that nurture fluent, curious and thoughtful readers. The training covers high‑quality vocabulary instruction, effective questioning, and the selection of rich texts that deepen understanding. It also demonstrates how principles of strong reading instruction drive progress and align with assessment expectations, using past papers to illustrate implications for test readiness while keeping the long‑term goal at the centre: developing confident, independent readers who can navigate increasingly complex texts with assurance.

  • build knowledge of effective, research‑informed reading comprehension teaching

  • use skilled questioning to deepen thinking and clarify comprehension

  • align reading instruction with assessment needs without narrowing focus

  • select rich, high‑quality texts to support progress and engagement

  • Teach vocabulary explicitly to strengthen pupils’ depth of understanding
