About this course
Revised and updated for 2023, this course will draw upon research in and out of the classroom, covering the essential knowledge and skills that underpin successful comprehension of texts both during and after the act of reading. Practical activities and demonstrations will illustrate how to use whole class, group, and individual approaches during reading sessions. You will also explore ways to develop pupils’ thinking at a deeper and more sustained level, as well as consider how to develop the clarity and precision of how children express and develop their thoughts.
During the session, reference will be made to statutory assessment domains. You will be supported to see how the principles and approaches of effective reading instruction will support progress and attainment under each of the relevant assessment domains. Analysis of past papers will be used to highlight implications for test preparation and technique, without losing sight of the long-term, core aim of developing confident, thoughtful and articulate readers, able to cope with the demands of increasingly complex texts.
