Reconstructing Reading: Literacy Leadership
This toolkit, developed as a takeaway from the National Literacy Trust’s Reconstructing Reading conference, provides your team with the essential bridge between evidence-based research and high-impact classroom results.
How you can use this resource:
Challenge your current literacy strategy using the 'Literacy Leadership' research one-pager, which features a series of provocations designed to help leaders evaluate staff knowledge, assessment consistency, and the coherence of whole-school reading routines.
Deploy the linked Teacher Inquiry Journal to provide staff with a practical, step-by-step framework for connecting reading research directly to daily instruction through structured, short inquiry cycles.
Enable teachers to design targeted interventions for specific learner groups by mapping core reading components, such as decoding, fluency, and vocabulary, to baseline assessments and bespoke instructional strategies.
