The government’s reading framework has been expanded in a bid to help teachers support children beyond key stage 1.
The document, first released two years ago, has today been fleshed out to provide guidance on how to improve the literacy of seven to 14-year-olds.
Having previously focused on reception and key stage 1, it now advises teachers on how to support older children in need of greater levels of help.
This means the guidance has bulged in size by more than 50 per cent, from 115 to 176 pages.
