Why does accurate reading assessment matter?

The third recommendation in the [Education Endowment Foundation’s guidance (2021)](https://educationendowmentfoundation.org.uk/education-evidence/guidance-reports/literacy-ks2) addresses the importance of reading comprehension strategies in improving learners’ literacy.

[Following her previous webinar on fluent reading](https://app.getcontrast.io/webinars/bedrock-learning-t-l-support-pupils-to-develop-fluent-reading-capabilities/overview), Senior English Specialist Ellie Ashton focuses on how to teach reading comprehension strategies by discussing the following:

1.  Which barriers do learners encounter when reading a text?
2.  How can you use modelling and supported practice to address these barriers?
3.  So what practical actions can you take to boost learners’ literacy across the curriculum?

This research-driven, evidence-based webinar is bound to be a lively discussion, suitable for you no matter where you are in your literacy journey.
