18.01.2022 More than 1300 people who are committed to ensuring all students learn to read have signed the Primary Reading Pledge. Add your name today. Five from Five, AUSPELD, and Learning Difficulties Australia have collaborated on an evidence-based framework for schools to dramatically reduce the number of children who finish primary school unable to read proficiently. In 2020, more than 50,000 students started their secondary studies with low literacy levels. These students are half... as likely to complete school as their peers and have serious lifelong educational and social disadvantages. By using data from the Phonics Screening Check and NAPLAN and following a systematic approach to assessment and intervention, almost all students can and should be reading well by the time they finish primary school. It is the responsibility of governments, non-government school governance authorities, and school leadership to ensure that teachers are equipped with the resources and knowledge to achieve this critically important goal. Download the Primary Reading Pledge plan at https://fivefromfive.com.au//PRIMARY-READING-PLEDGE_August Add your support to the Primary Reading Pledge through social media with the hashtag #primaryreadingpledge, email your state or territory education minister and/or add your name to the Pledge supporter page.

14.01.2022 In the past five years or so there has been a significant increase in awareness and acceptance of the need for high quality phonics instruction to be included in literacy teaching in Australian schools, and of the importance of evidence-based reading instruction more broadly.
