This is a list of questions OFSTED could potentially ask during a reading deep dive. It includes questions for subject leads, questions around phonics and questions children could be asked. This list has been created based on what other teachers have shared on Twitter and Facebook of their experiences during inspections. These questions are not set in stone, but are meant to act as a guideline in preparing for an OFSTED visit. Hope they help.
