Reading Ambition for All: Teaching children who need the most support, including those with SEND

Evidence based leadership CPD for mainstream leaders, teachers and SENCos

• To improve outcomes for children who need additional support with reading, including those with SEND
• To ensure that all children receive quality first teaching based on the latest research into how children learn to read

• Building on the strong evidence base which demonstrates that all children learn to read in the same way: moving from decoding to fluency via orthographic learning
• Using strategies underpinned by the knowledge that children with SEND are on the same learning trajectory as all other children and that we must be equally ambitious for them
• Following extensive research that demonstrates the importance of reducing cognitive load and providing repeated practice
• Promoting adaptive teaching for children with SEND in mainstream settings including:
• Breaking down learning and assessment into smaller steps and teaching at a slower pace where needed
• Using adapted materials and materials that limit distraction
• Using strategies such as pre-tutoring, repeated practice and overlearning
