Estyn, the education and training inspectorate for Wales has today published recommendations and guidance for schools and their partners on how to improve pupils’ reading and writing skills.
“Success in reading and writing is critical to pupils’ employment prospects and to the future of Wales as a learning country. While many schools have been successful in improving the standard of pupils’ Welsh and English, the challenge is to spread best practice more widely and consistently so that the learning and teaching of reading and writing skills in all schools across Wales are as good as they can be”, says Dr Bill Maxwell, Her Majesty’s Chief Inspector of Education and Training in Wales.
