Closing the Reading Gap with Alex Quigley

Join the Outwood English Hub for an exciting session where we will be joined by Alex Quigley!

Alex will explore the key challenge of supporting every child so that they become fluent, skilled readers.

He draws upon a wealth of research evidence and real examples to define the ‘reading gap’, before offering a range of practical strategies to close the gap. Alex draws upon his best selling books, ‘Closing the Reading Gap’ and ‘Closing the Vocabulary Gap’ to offer a session to support school leaders and teachers so that their pupils can thrive.
