HMI - Early Reading
November 2021
Shazia Akram, HMI, in the South East region, talks about the importance of early reading and what inspectors look at on inspection.
South Yorkshire Reading Guarantee

The South Yorkshire Guarantee has been produced in collaboration by partners across Sheffield, Rotherham, Barnsley and Doncaster. It is designed to offer schools the tools to reflect on and review practice, which then result in actions and plans to develop Reading for Pleasure, early reading and phonics.
