Every child has the right to read. But what children read – and the ways they engage with reading – are changing.
In the classroom, this presents new challenges and opportunities. How we approach fluency and comprehension must also incorporate the shifting social factors that shape how each child learns and experiences reading.
To fully realise children’s potential for reading enjoyment and comprehension, it’s time to re-evaluate the schemes and strategies that inform our teaching, and rediscover the holistic elements that contribute to the reading experience. It’s time to rebalance the connection between teaching reading and reading for pleasure. It’s time to reconstruct reading.
In November, join the National Literacy Trust for: Reconstructing Reading: Translating research into powerful classroom practice. Spanning a week, this powerful online festival will bring international thought leaders and experienced classroom practitioners together to unpick and illuminate reading.
ReconstructingReading takes place 17 – 21 November 2025. It's fully online and with tickets start at just £25, there’s ticket options to support a range of budgets and schedules.
