Ofsted study finds half of new teachers lacking skills in the teaching of reading
19 Nov 2012
More than half of new teachers do not start the job equipped with good skills in the teaching of reading, a report from Ofsted says. The small-scale research with 44 trainee primary teachers at 10 teacher training providers found that just 21 had good skills in this area when they left initial training. However, the report, From Training to Teaching Early Language and Literacy, did find that good training in school placements or their induction school could help trainees to improve their skills.
