PAT WELCOMES PRIMARY LITERACY REVIEW

PAT General Secretary Jean Gemmell said: “We welcome this review. Reading is the tool through which we acquire knowledge, and is vital for communication and the release of pupils’ potential, so it is important to establish the most effective methods of teaching literacy.

“However, we hope that the review will not result in prescriptive regulations dictating how teachers must teach literacy. While being informed and guided by the results of this review, teachers should still be allowed to use their professional judgment about the most appropriate method or methods to use when teaching a particular class, especially where they are already experiencing success with a particular method or combination of methods.”
