Episode 197: Primary Reading Simplified – with Christopher Such

In this episode of Thinking Deeply about Primary Education, I’m joined by Christopher Such, author of The Art and Science of Teaching Primary Reading and soon Primary Reading Simplified, as we dive into simplifying the complexities of teaching reading. Christopher shares insights from his upcoming book and reflects on the evolving approaches to reading instruction in schools.

We discuss:

  • Why Christopher chose to write another book on reading and whether his previous work left anything unresolved.
  • The key elements that make reading lessons truly effective, and how this compares to common practices in schools.
  • Lessons learned from changing reading instruction across an entire school.
  • Expert advice on assessing and addressing reading difficulties within the classroom.
  • Tips for selecting high-quality texts that engage and challenge pupils.
  • Practical steps for developing a strong reading culture in schools.
  • Packed with practical strategies and deep insights, this episode is a must-listen for anyone involved in primary reading instruction.
