Early reading: Day 1

This CPD theme is aimed specifically at schools that wish to address the teaching of early reading across the school or setting. It focuses on Year 1, but has clear links and activities relating to the Foundation Stage and reaching into Year 2.

The materials have been designed to support teachers and practitioners in implementing the recommendations of the Rose Report. They incorporate what is meant by high-quality phonics teaching and its place within a rich and broad early-years curriculum. They provide advice and guidance on pace and progression in the teaching of phonics and explain what is meant by the simple view of reading - the new conceptual framework for the teaching of reading. The CPD early reading day 1 materials attached to this page are organised into two sections:

• CPD outlines - which contain CPD guidance or notes for Local Authorities and schools on delivering early reading professional development, which could be designed as a full one-day training course or broken into smaller sessions for delivery over time.
• Handouts/resources - which contain any related materials or linked handouts from the CPD outlines needed to run the CPD sessions including the presentation slides to support the delivery of the CPD outline.
