About this webinar
Some children enter KS2 lacking age-appropriate reading skills, and this results in issues beyond the acquisition of abilities. Frequently, several years of knowing that they are falling behind results in an understandably negative view of reading; this may be compounded by exposure to reading support material that looks and feels 'babyish'. This session will aim to address as many of these compounded issues as possible, with practical solutions and ideas for classroom practice and extra-curricular reading.
Speaker
Lindsay Pickton
I’m a keen reader, and I’m fascinated by reading: I’m an English graduate who worked in a bookshop for 4½ years before becoming a Primary teacher, then an English advisor, first for an LA and then independently, and I’ve supported hundreds of schools with various aspects of reading (and writing) development over the last 20+ years. I’ve written many articles about – and teaching resources for – reading, and I’ve led training on it across and beyond the UK. I read for purpose and for pleasure pretty much every day of my life.
