To improve
- “However, some of the checks staff make do not pinpoint specific gaps in pupils’ reading knowledge.”
- “Furthermore, not all staff have the expertise to deliver the reading curriculum consistently well.”
- “This makes it difficult for staff to provide pupils with the precise support they need to overcome barriers to their reading.”
