Ask staff to evaluate their own skills and knowledge
Download and share our self-assessment
This will:
- Give you a good understanding of how confident your staff feel teaching reading
- Help them reflect on their own skills and knowledge
It's based on the DfE's 2021 reading framework and covers areas such as:
- Language comprehension
- Storytimes
- Teaching phonics
- Assessment
Encourage staff to respond honestly, emphasising that you want to help them feel more comfortable and confident teaching the subject. Using our tools to intervene and support them will help you strengthen and promote your reading provision.
Audit your current reading provision to find areas to develop
Once your staff have filled out the self-assessment tool, use their reflections and this audit tool to build up a picture of the strengths of their teaching, and areas where they may need more support.
It suggests where you may look for evidence
