Year 8 Reading Test: Raising standards or raising questions?: The Late Show with Sarah Wilkinson-Crute
Manage episode 514265995 series 2518203
The government's plan for a Year 8 reading test has sparked debate across schools - but what does it actually mean for us in the classroom? In this show we unpack the thinking behind the proposal, explore the implications for teaching and workload and ask whether testing actually tackles the literacy gap - or just measures it. Hear from a current Head of English to discuss how to keep reading for pleasure and reading for progress at the heart of what we do. Listen, reflect and join the conversation about the future of reading in our schools.
