It is important to only introduce Phonics Readers if your child knows some letter sounds, shows interest, and can sit in one place for 5-10 minutes. Whether you homeschool and want a great set to focus on with your child, or you want to supplement your child’s school learning, having a Phonics Readers Set in your home will help your child work on their phonetic learning. There are many Reader Sets that teach the phonetic approach to reading. Oversight of struggling readers is led by the vice-principal and assistant principal. The assistant SENCo and English teacher leading on the form-time reading programme also have responsibility for the progress of struggling readers. The academy invests heavily in specialist programmes for struggling readers.

A Beka Phonics Readers start very slow, and they only introduce six sounds at once. These are perfect for readers just starting out. The text is large and accessible for the youngest readers. For example, the Little Books your child can sound out: Many children love graphic novels or comics. These are great for developing imagination. Children also learn how stories are presented in different ways and understand how pictures and text work together. There’s also quite a bit of reading between the lines needed here Schools frequently stopped giving pupils additional help once they had ‘graduated’ from a reading programme or had reached their chronological reading age. This meant that schools might not know if previously struggling readers were continuing to make progress with their reading.The decoding skills pupils do have may not be fluent enough for the demands of the secondary curriculum. A study with pupils in Years 7 to 9 found that only a small number of struggling readers with poor reading comprehension had adequate word reading fluency. [footnote 14] Although poor word decoding does not prevent comprehension, it is a barrier to skilled, proficient reading comprehension. [footnote 15] Inspection evidence shows that schools frequently use reading ages as a measure of reading ability. Reading age assessments measure the gap between a pupil’s actual age and how well they should be reading for their age. Reading age assessments tell schools less than they might seem, because older pupils vary a lot in how they read. [footnote 21] Reading ages can show whether a pupil has a problem with reading, but not what that problem might be. They focus on comprehension and do not look at decoding and fluency, for example.

Librarians also played an active role in supporting struggling readers. In 3 schools, librarians had access to data on struggling readers, such as reading ages, and helped pupils to find books that they might like and that were suitable for them. In 2 schools, librarians were responsible for online reading assessments. One librarian administered reading tests at the end of a paired reading scheme. Librarians used this information to find out what pupils were reading. In each of these schools, librarians were part of the way schools used data to monitor the progress of struggling readers and to recommend suitable books for them to read.secondary and primary schools HMI – to understand the current issues they find in schools and what might support inspection practice Sometimes struggling readers can fool people into thinking they are fluent readers, others will stumble over words and it is more obvious. Equally you can have a student who doesn’t read well out loud but takes in all the information and understands. We sometimes have to put literacy over something else… This is controversial… but we’ve made the ethical judgement as a school that, in terms of access to the wider curriculum, they would benefit more from having that focus. Strong leadership of reading made sure that these schools had staff with the right professional development and training to teach reading. The culture of reading embedded in all the schools was summed up by a Senior HMI who was part of a research visit to one school:

The school has a strong Year 6 transition programme that is an important part of how it helps struggling readers. Identifying struggling readers who will need additional teaching begins before pupils leave primary school. The reading teacher is a qualified primary teacher who visits the feeder primary schools to support reading in Years 5 and 6. This teacher works closely with the primary schools to identify specific weaknesses and the additional help for reading that pupils have already received. This means that the school has detailed information about struggling readers before they start in Year 7. C Young, T Rasinski, D Paige and W Rupley, ‘Defining fluency: finding the missing pieces for reading fluency’, Issue June, 2020; ‘Report of the national reading panel: teaching children to read’, National Reading Panel, 2000. ↩ In this school, the headteacher said she felt that taking children out of lessons was ‘detrimental to their learning’. Staff expertise in teaching reading My favorite phonics-based book set are the Storybooks from Primary Phonics. I think I am nostalgic because I learned to read with these sweet little books! These books begin with sounds (m, n, r, f, s, l) that can each be voiced without a vowel sound. This makes them easier to blend with the vowel. It also introduces letter Aa as the first vowel sound, which is the case for all the Phonics Readers listed. At the beginning, your child will be sounding out: The illustrations in Primary Phonics are very simple, and the readers progressively learns their vowel sounds. These Storybooks Starter Set 1 are the perfect introduction to phonics-based early reading. The books contain decodable stories, so they have an added comprehension element while the inside covers clearly list phonetic concepts and sight words included in each book.

I feel like I’m a better reader now. I think because of the help with letter patterns, it makes it more easy to break up and learn more of the words. Before reformed Year 6 national assessments introduced the use of scaled scores from 2016, pupils at the end of Year 6 were expected to achieve a level 4. Level 3 was the suggested achievement for the end of Year 4. ↩

We set a student up for success from the beginning by giving them the tools to decode words (through phonics learning) and by providing adequate time to review and master older concepts, or sounds, before introducing new ones. Each of the Phonics Readers below does just that. They reinforce the learning. What phonics readers are best for my child? Teachers and reading support staff also frequently talked to pupils about books and what they were reading. One school leader said that displays around the school were intended to ‘start conversations with teachers around reading’.

Several of the schools used repeated exposure to reading books to improve pupils’ reading fluency. They frequently used paired reading with adults or trained sixth-form pupils. Paired reading helps increase the range and amount children read, and is a way to build fluency and comprehension. To become expert readers, pupils first need to become less reliant on decoding, and fluency is improved through practice. Paired reading is one way to build children’s experience of reading as part of the transition from novice to expert reader.
