Get Literacy Right – Rethinking Reading at Harrow Beijing: From Assessment to Achievement
Understanding each learner is an important first step, but assessment is only the beginning. Schools also need to turn insights into action, provide the right texts, connect reading with learning, and support students at school and at home. In this webinar, Trent Martin, Director of Academics at Harrow Beijing, will share the school’s four-year journey to strengthen reading. He will explore how reading insights, digital and physical texts, teacher development, student motivation and parent support can work together to help students become more confident readers and make progress over time.
Join us to explore how schools can:
- Understand the individual learner, using reading data and teachers’ knowledge to identify each student’s needs
- Connect reading with learning across the curriculum, using relevant texts to help students understand topics in different subjects
- Give students greater access to appropriate and engaging texts, with reading choices that suit different levels, interests and language needs
- Bring parents into the reading journey, helping families support reading at home and build stronger links between home and school
- Build motivation and a sustainable culture of reading, making reading visible, celebrating progress and encouraging students to keep reading
Following Trent’s presentation, Renaissance expert and former educator Kate Barton will lead a live conversation and Q&A, exploring practical lessons from Harrow Beijing’s journey and ideas that other schools can use to strengthen their own approach to reading.
