Scott circulates, reading & assessing his students’ work as he goes. Each student feels seen & knows their work is important to Scott. And Scott ends the observation with a clear sense for who understands what.

Why aren’t we reading more across the curriculum?

There’s plenty of evidence that reading aloud to our pupils, raises outcomes for all, particularly those from a low starting point. I’ve done a short recording summarising the research so why aren’t we making the most of these insights, if we are serious about closing gaps?

I think there are three main reasons why we aren’t reading more across the subjects, beyond literacy in primary and English in secondary.
