How we support children to catch up in reading
How we support children to catch up at St Dennis Primary Academy
- Through Pupil Progress meetings, those children who are not making good progress have interventions planned for them. These children also become priority readers and read daily with a trained adult.
- Context sheets for each cohort have been created to identify and target support to those children who have not met the expected standard at key points (e.g. EYFS, PSC, KS1 Reading).
- Diagnostic data from NFER enables teachers to plan reading interventions.
- RWI assessments are undertaken every half term (by the Early Reading Lead) and children are identified for 'keep up not catch up' interventions which could be delivered 1:1 or in small groups.
- Planned interventions are reviewed regularly and staff leading these meet with the Early Reading Lead / SENDCo to discuss progress.
- We track the impact of interventions.
