The Reading Behaviours is a proven way to raise standards by showing pupils how to read. This unique resource teaches pupils how to make meaning from any text. It is an invaluable tool to develop and enhance pupils’ comprehension skills across the school. It contains 325 ideas and 175 bespoke resources to help busy teachers to provide engaging, stimulating and purposeful reading tasks that pupils can use to practise reading in real contexts across the curriculum. When your school uses The Reading Behaviours, pupils see that they can use these behaviours to solve problems, unlock meaning and learn from text. Reading becomes a pleasure and not a chore. The Reading Behaviours develops the skills that fluent, independent readers use to negotiate all texts. From Nursery to Year 6, pupils are shown how to read, learning increasingly complex skills as they mature. This scheme systematically builds pupils’ comprehension skills, along with their fluency and reading stamina. As pupils understand how to read, what they read becomes clear and interesting. This comprehensive resource provides the whole school with ways to develop each reading behaviour. It introduces new strategies and activities into each year group guaranteeing pupils an interesting, varied way to learn to read; activities are only repeated because pupils enjoy using them. This resource invigorates your pedagogy. The Reading Behaviours is an incredibly rich and versatile set of activities to help pupils to learn and apply the processes of reading throughout the day. The Reading Behaviours demonstrates to pupils the protocols used by competent, successful readers of all ages; it ensures that no pupils miss out. Reading will cease to be onerous and boring as pupils will be in control of the processes of making meaning. The Reading Behaviours energises your reading teaching, helps teachers to plan by explicitly teaching skills and raises reading standards as pupils understand how to interact with text.

Course Presenter: Stephanie Vaughan

ENGLISH AND LITERACY - Stephanie Vaughan has been working in education for over 25 years and is an experienced classroom practitioner, who understands the challenges teachers face providing a relevant and purposeful curriculum. She was, until recently, the Literacy Lead Advisor for Swansea; therefore, she has extensive experience of providing training and in-school support for primary teachers in English and whole school literacy. In addition, extensive pupil data from schools across Swansea proves that her training definitely raises standards. Stephanie Vaughan is the author of The Eight Reading Behaviours and The Reading Journey, a new and comprehensive innovative resource that teaches pupils to read with enjoyment and purpose. She has also developed many of her own literacy strategies, such as The Writing Wheel and accompanying activities that help pupils to learn the steps in the writing process. She has written detailed progression models for aspects of reading and writing that help teachers to unpick the LNF. A belief that pupils need to understand how to read and write independently underpins her work and she offers literacy lessons that are enjoyable, interactive, and skill-centred. Stephanie’s training provides teachers with practical, easily implemented, and engaging solutions to literacy problems, and she provides schools with extensive and varied resources, which, according to feedback, have proved extremely popular with teachers and pupils.
