Improving Literacy in Primary - Audit Template Bundle

Please note: These templates are also available in the Improving Pupil Literacy Pack, a comprehensive resource set that contains over 35 pages of guidance about improving literacy, a set of five beautiful display posters, and a full range of templates covering reading, writing, phonics, language development and more. If you're looking to make improvements in pupil literacy and a pack with longevity, we'd recommend looking at this full pack first. 

This Improving Literacy in Primary - Audit Template Bundle contains three editable templates that allow you to audit your literacy provision in a primary school setting by using EEF recommendations on improving literacy. It's ideal if you're a more experienced literacy lead who already understands the EEF research into literacy, and you just want to investigate the strengths and weaknesses of reading, writing, phonics, spelling, transcription and language comprehension across your setting.

The templates included in this bundle are:

• Preparing for Literacy (EYFS) - Audit - explore communication and language, early reading and writing, and how to audit literacy in the early years, including for pre-school and nursery-aged children. (12-page document)
• Improving Literacy in KS1 - Audit - analyse your strengths and development points in KS1 literacy, including speaking and listening, phonics, reading comprehension, writing composition, transcription and spelling, assessments, and intervention. (21-page document)
• Improving Literacy in KS2 - Audit - use this to explore your KS2 literacy provision, including language, reading fluency, reading comprehension, writing composition, transcription, sentence construction, assessment, and interventions. (24-page document)

Each template contains the EEF recommendations, split into handy, digestible sections so you can work through the audit at a pace to suit your school and your capacity. There are suggestions of what each recommendation could be look like in practice plus questions you may wish to ask staff, allowing you to RAG-rate your current position and identify next steps. The three documents are all set up with this structure, allowing consistency across your setting.

This resource is ideal for primary English subject leads, literacy leaders, curriculum leaders or anyone with responsibility for writing, reading, phonics and spoken language in a primary school setting.

There's no guidance in this pack but the editable templates will help you to investigate the strengths and weaknesses of reading, writing, phonics, spelling, transcription and language comprehension throughout the EYFS, KS1 and KS2.
