Reading is key to
learning across all subjects in primary and secondary school. It is a
strong predictor of outcomes in later life. In KS2 and secondary, disciplinary reading is
an approach to improving literacy across the curriculum that
emphasises the importance of subject specific support.
“Reading with fluency
is the gateway to almost all learning. Without reading, there is little
science, no history, no geography. So we should champion reading as a vital
life skill; reading to learn; reading for advancement; reading to expand
horizons; reading for pleasure.” Amanda
