Members! Check out the super new feature on the Assessment tracker. Our assessments team has made some tweaks to the tracker so that you can now clearly see the automaticity calculation for decodable words for each child. This will show your pupils’ growing fluency, as well as helping you understand book level allocations.

What a wonderful day at the National Literacy Specialist conference, Bristol. It’s always lovely to spend time with other English Hub colleagues whilst listening to guest speakers, especially the wonderful Valerie Bloom @PoetryVal @educationgovuk
