Are the reading wars really over?
Manage episode 505119251 series 5381
It's estimated that one third of Australian schoolchildren can't read proficiently. In response, all state and territory governments have now mandated that a form of teaching known as explicit instruction be used to teaching reading in schools, with the federal government also tying delivery of this method to its funding deals. So can explicit instruction turn things around?
This speech was recorded at the Advancing Effective Education Summit hosted by Multilit on 30 May 2025.
