Driver Youth Trust are on a mission to equip teaching professionals with the skills, knowledge and strategies to better support learners with literacy difficulties and SEND.

Designed and delivered by our expert consultant teachers, our 'The child behind the test scores' webinar explores CATs, reading assessments and other standardised testing and data sources, and what this data actually tells us about a child's literacy levels.

Ideal for teachers, teaching assistants and school leaders, the webinar will give you a better understanding of how reading develops and how you can support and improve reading comprehension in the classroom.

Webinar overview:

• Assessing reading: exploring how learners' reading levels are commonly assessed and what different results really show us.

• Alternative resources: identifying other data and sources of information we can use to support learners.

• Reading development: examining how reading develops and sharing strategies and classroom practices to support reading comprehension.
