Episode 108: This week on Thinking Deeply about Primary Education, I'm joined by Christopher Such to discuss how we can support pupils who are struggling to learn to read. Drawing on Christopher's vast experience and expertise, we discussed...
1. What do we mean by struggling readers?
2. How can assessment be used to to help us support struggling readers?
3. Interventions naturally involve pupils missing out on other things? How do we balance this with our desire to support children to read proficiently?
4. How does this relate to the idea of dyslexia?
5. What should we do in the classroom to support struggling readers?
6. What role does reading for pleasure play in supporting struggling readers?
Whether you're new to the profession or an experienced senior leader, you won't want to miss this one!
