First
Consider what you know about your target pupil or group of similar pupils as readers and writers. Select the reader or writer button and look for the headline that describes them best. Let's say your pupils sound like 'competent readers'. Now decide whether you think they have just arrived at that point on the map or whether they are well established there. If they are well established, select the 'secure competent reader' button. This will take you to a fuller description of the secure competent reader.
Next
Check whether the fuller description fits. In many cases you can also look at some pupil work for comparison. From here you can go back and see if another category is a better fit or, if satisfied, select the link for advice on the relevant pupil targets.
Finally
There is teaching advice directly linked to the targets for the 'secure competent reader' and from here you can also select links to other helpful materials or choose to view sample plans for a lesson sequence.
Now choose your focus:
This website will soon be integrated into a new single website for the National Strategies. You do not need to do anything, your links to this site will automatically redirect to the relevant content on the new site. Where old content has been superseded, you will be able to find the resources you are looking for by using the new advanced search functionality and intelligent navigation.
The new site will go live towards the end of October and will reside at this address:
