Reading Progress: Too Fast or Too Slow? with Louise Payne

Not sure if your child's reading progress or the teaching they are getting is going too fast or too slow?

This is a common discussion among parents at the school gate and the answer is going to be very individualised depending on your child and their teacher.

However, it's really important to have some information about how it all works so you can make a decision about whether it is something that is worth raising (remember if your gut says you should, then it's always a good idea to chat with a teacher!)

Louise Payne, a former teacher and expert in literacy development with Learning Matters, shares insights about understanding the process and the pace of teaching.

She explains 'phonological awareness', the best ways to support reading at home and why it's not just about decoding words but understanding the story behind them.
