TCAT Reads has been developed as a resource to support and reflect the approach that is needed to guide the teaching of reading across our academies. Experienced, cross-phase lead practitioners have developed a wealth of materials to support all educators in developing students’ reading expertise from Early Years, primary and secondary contexts to
secondary and post-16. TCAT Reads will support school leaders and staff through developing a greater understanding around the science of reading and the most effective reading practices.
At the heart of our work is the importance of reading as a fundamental life skill and the belief that all the young people we serve (with very few exceptions) should leave school as
proficient readers.
