Welcome to Reading-Gap 

A research project on reading in secondary schools

This project looks at reading in secondary schools, with a particular focus on what happens beyond early identification and intervention.

​

It examines how reading difficulties are identified and assessed over time, how schools know whether reading is affecting learning, and where uncertainty remains as pupils move through later secondary.

​

This is early-stage, formative research. At this stage, we are commissioning a small number of practitioner conversations to shape the questions and focus of the work.
