Use of evidence-based approaches to teaching literacy (e.g. Education Endowment Foundation Improving Literacy in Key Stage 2 guidance report).
In the co-production of this document, Sencos suggested interventions and approaches below:
Collaborative learning and peer tutoring approaches (e.g. Paired Reading, Cued Spelling).
Reading buddy/peer support/joint learning.
Kagan Structures and mixed-ability groups.
Class literacy programmes which can be differentiated for individuals e.g.:
Achieve 3000 (KidzBiz3000 for KS2) – a family of online literacy interventions to improve reading, writing and critical thinking skills.
Whole class engagement with an appropriately pitched non-fiction text about a particular issue each day (reading, answering questions, giving opinions and linked writing task).
Ensure that Literacy skills are embedded throughout the curriculum (e.g. SMSC lessons).
