Yesterday, the government announced a very welcome focus on reading and writing, with particular reference to literacy in secondary schools. We have been working with the government over the last year or so to develop training for all secondary teachers so that they can support reading in all students. This training will be launch later this year and will combine short videos with guidance and a workbook to build knowledge, capacity and confidence for secondary staff.
