Literacy at TASE - narrowing the reading gap

Literacy at TASE is coming to Trinity Academy St Edward's on Tuesday 8 December, a conference focused on literacy and narrowing the reading gap. It's hosted right here in Sheffield, and the whole day is built around that one central theme: how to close the gap in reading levels.

The title itself, Literacy at TASE, points to the school's own approach, and the conference is an extension of that. The core of the day is the reading gap — that divide between where some children start and where others do — and the different ways of tackling it. If you're working in education, or just interested in how reading is taught across the city, it's a good place to see what's being done on the ground.

It's a morning start, with things getting underway at 08:30 at Trinity Academy St Edward's. The focus stays on literacy throughout, so it's a day for anyone who spends their time thinking about how children learn to read and how to make sure no one falls behind. It's a professional gathering rather than a public performance, so it's most suited to teachers, literacy leads, and those working with young readers.

If you're planning to go, keep in mind the early start: Tuesday 8 December, 08:30, at Trinity Academy St Edward's in Sheffield.
