Key Stage 2 is a crucial period for literacy development. Pupils learn many foundational skills for reading and writing in KS1, but must build on these foundations in KS2 to become skilled readers and writers, equipped to take on the challenges of secondary school learning.

But what should you do if your learners struggle with new literacy content and fall behind set targets?

Following her previous webinar on [targeted teaching and support](https://app.getcontrast.io/webinars/bedrock-learning-t-l-webinar-assessing-pupil-needs-to-target-support/overview), Senior English Specialist Ellie Ashton explores how structured interventions can support struggling learners with their literacy through the following questions:
