Local authorities improving life chances: A review of a new approach to raising literacy levels
Partners in Literacy – the National Literacy Trust’s two year project with local authorities to raise literacy standards by improving literacy support for the most vulnerable families – has had a massive impact. We are particularly proud of the difference it has made to the numbers of families accessing literacy support and on the confidence of vulnerable parents and carers in supporting their children’s literacy. This report explains how it worked and provides invaluable research to drive the development of a new approach to support literacy standards which will work with the new public service context with a focus on improving the home learning environment.
It offers a route map to all who are committed to addressing the increasingly urgent issue of low literacy, through the most powerful approach of working with families in a radically new public policy context and in a changing civil society context.
