Using reading data to inform planning
Tuesday 19 May, 4pm (UK)
Webinar information
Whilst statistics from the UK Department for Education show an improvement in pupils achieving the expected standard in reading since the reformed KS2 SATs were introduced in 2016, around a quarter of pupils each year still enter secondary education without meeting age-related expectations. As the reading demands increase in secondary school, this gap can widen for some students, particularly those who are already vulnerable.
While there is no single solution that works for every learner, schools can take proactive steps to strengthen reading development. Baseline assessments, alongside ongoing insights, can play an important role in helping teachers better understand students’ starting points, track progress over time and identify where targeted support may be needed.
If your school is looking for ways to improve your students’ reading skills at Key Stage 2 and beyond, baseline assessments can help. In this webinar, our Reporting & Guidance Specialist will look at:
- How to use baseline assessments to gain a clearer understanding of pupils’ reading abilities
- Identifying patterns of progress or difficulty by translating assessment data into actionable insights
- Implementing interventions to set meaningful targets for improvement
- Reporting reading levels effectively to parents and governors
- Teaching strategies to create a positive and supportive reading environment
Who is this for?
This webinar is ideal for Senior Leaders, Principals, Vice Principals, School Leaders, Head Teachers, Deputy Heads, Heads of Department and Teachers.
