Improving literacy in primary schools: What does, and doesn’t the evidence tell us?

The Education Endowment Foundation (EEF) is an independent England-based charity dedicated to breaking the link between family income and educational attainment. We do this by supporting schools, colleges and early years settings to improve teaching and learning through better use of evidence. This session will provide a high-level overview of the models of evidence generation and mobilisation that have been employed to successfully improve attainment in England. The session will have a particular focus on evidence for improving literacy in children aged between 4 and 11 years. We will discuss what current evidence is available and what we believe this suggests to inform teaching practice and policy, as well as highlighting what the evidence tells us does not work and where there are gaps in the evidence. We close with current recommendations for practice, recommendations for exploring current evidence gaps, and highlighting where these may be applicable to the context in Rotterdam.
