Literacy for Learning

Literacy for Life

Literacy for Learning helps students develop the literacy skills they need to do well at school and in their future lives.

We work with teachers and literacy leaders to develop a range of approaches to support reading, writing, speaking and listening. Our online training sessions are led by literacy consultants and are available to schools nationwide. We can also work more closely with schools to identify priorities, and work collaboratively to plan a programme of training and consultancy to embed sustainable approaches school-wide.

Literacy in secondary schools

Research and policy guidance shows that secondary schools need to prioritise disciplinary literacy, embedding reading, writing, speaking and listening in every subject, to ensure no student is left behind.
