Improving Literacy - Primary

This Improving Literacy in Primary - Audit Template Bundle contains three editable templates that allow you to audit your literacy provision in a primary school setting by using EEF recommendations on improving literacy. It’s ideal if you’re a more experienced literacy lead who already understands the EEF research into literacy, and you just want to investigate the strengths and weaknesses of reading, writing, phonics, spelling, transciption and language comprehension across your setting.

The templates included in this bundle are:

Preparing for Literacy (EYFS) - Audit - explore communication and language, early reading and writing, and how to audit literacy in the early years, including for pre-school and nursery-aged children. (12-page document)

Improving Literacy in KS1 - Audit - analyse your strengths and development points in KS1 literacy, including speaking and listening, phonics, reading comprehension, writing composition, transcription and spelling, assessments, and intervention. (21-page document)

Improving Literacy in KS2 - Audit - use this to explore your KS2 literacy provision, including language, reading fluency, reading comprehension, writing composition, transcription, sentence construction, assessment, and interventions. (24-page document)

Each template contains the EEF recommendations, split into handy, digestible sections so you can work through the audit at a pace to suit your school and your capacity. There are suggestions of what each recommendation could be look like in practice plus questions you may wish to ask staff, allowing you to RAG-rate your current position and identify next steps. The three documents are all set up with this structure, allowing consistency across your setting, so it’s ideal for English subject leads, literacy leaders, curriculum leaders or anyone with responsibility for writing, reading, phonics and spoken language.

If you’re wondering about the provision your setting offers in literacy, including your current strengths and weakenesses, this bundle is ideal to take the first step in exploring your pupils’ experiences of reading, writing, phonics, spoken language and more. Created from EEF literacy research and recommendations, these helpful documents allow you to RAG rate your provision and identify steps for improvement.
