Rigorous, consistent teaching
We support English Hubs to ensure that the teaching of reading and writing is of the highest quality in Read Write Inc. partner schools.
We keep track of reading progress with the hub team to ensure that:
- literacy specialists and leaders in partner schools act on the data
