Training and support for multi-academy trusts
Consistent, high-quality training and support
We work with over 170 multi-academy trusts and school groups in England to provide a high-quality, consistent approach to the leadership and teaching of reading. Many are large established trusts such as Ark, Harris, Outwood and the David Ross Education Trust. Others are smaller, for example, Cornerstones and Paradigm.
We work with leaders, teachers and children to attain high reading results. Together we:
- keep with the child until they can read, however long it takes
- bring the teaching of reading and writing alive through coaching and practice
- make necessary adaptations so SEND children can thrive
- decide actions based on half-termly data
- embed positive, consistent behaviour strategies across the school
- develop high–quality interactions in all lessons.

“A shared determination that every child can and will learn to read.”

Read Write Inc. transforms reading and writing for every child
Ruth Miskin’s whole school approach to literacy gets every child reading – whatever their background or need. Children develop reading fluency and comprehension, learn to spell and write with confidence and to articulate their ideas and understanding.
This is why Read Write Inc. schools receive such glowing Ofsted reports.
