In September 2008, Estyn hosted a conference on literacy for over a 100 representatives from schools, local authorities, teacher training establishments, the Welsh Assembly Government and other interested parties. Jane Hutt AM, Minister for Children, Education, Lifelong Learning and Skills, opened the conference. Dr Bill Maxwell, Her Majesty’s Chief Inspector of Education and Training in Wales, spoke about raising standards of literacy in Wales. The conference focused on the findings of two of Estyn’s most recent reports on literacy – ‘Improving the learning and teaching of early reading skills’ and ‘Best practice in the reading and writing of pupils aged 7 to 14 years’.
