    A6 unoriginal, but it starts at home! Foster a love of reading from as early as possible-it's the gateway to Ss' success #UKEdchat

    Do you believe you have ever had a student who thrives in your subject, but their exam results are poor due to reading abilities? #UKEdChat

    A7 I think they could but don't have to. We regularly have reading mornings in which parents come in to read with pupils #UKEdChat

    I think so, if parents are literate then they have more chance of inspiring their children. These are life skills #UKEdChat

    Provide workshops and advice to parents in their own reading and how to support their children's #UKEdChat

    I believe that all students have the ability to soar academically #UKEdChat Reading can often hold that progress back, which is a travesty.
  • Write_Example Jun 1 @ 3:56 PM EDT
    Yes - we're all in this together 😊. After school clubs for adults could be linked to a secondary focus to reduce stigma eg cookery #UKEdchat

    In our eyfs we run "reading with your child" workshops to upskill parents and show the variety of skills developed through a book #UKEdChat

    We also need to recognise that there is a *lot* of digital reading with students #UKEdChat - Should be implemented within learning as well.
