answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/01/2015 answer text <p>The Government is committed to eliminating illiteracy and wants all children to read easily, fluently and with good understanding. We have made improving the teaching of reading a priority, and reforms to the education system have been designed to help every child become a confident and enthusiastic reader. We recognise, however, that there is still further to go if we want every child to be reading well by age 11. We are therefore working to ensure that our policies are properly embedded so that they can have the maximum possible impact on the outcomes of our children.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>We have welcomed the <em>‘Read On. Get On.’</em> campaign and its goal of helping all children to be able to read confidently and are pleased to see a wide range of organisations engaging with this vital mission. The Department and ministers have had a number of conversations with members of the ‘Read On. Get On’ coalition during the campaign, and actively support schools to play their part in this work.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Mr Nick Gibb question first answered 14/01/2015 15:10:58 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/01/2015 answer text <p>The new primary national curriculum for English, introduced in September 2014, sets more rigorous and challenging content. It has been designed to ensure that all children can leave primary school fully literate and ready to progress to secondary school.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>We have strengthened the requirements on learning to read through systematic synthetic phonics as evidence shows this to be the most effective way of teaching all children to read. We have introduced the phonics screening check at age 6 to determine which children require additional support. The result from this year’s phonics screening check show that, three years on from its introduction, 100,000 more six-year-olds (based on 2014 cohort numbers) are now on track to become confident readers. Between September 2011 and October 2013 the Government provided up to £3,000 in match funding to each state funded school with pupils in Years 1 and 2 to enable them to buy effective, systematic synthetic phonics resources and training for their teachers. Through this scheme over 14,000 schools claimed a total of over £23.7 million.</p><p> </p><p>The new national curriculum places a greater focus on the importance of accurate spelling and grammar so we have introduced a new Grammar, Punctuation and Spelling test at Key Stage 2. The 2014 Key Stage 2 results show that our reforms are already having an effect; a record proportion of children (89%) reached the expected standard of reading. Attainment in reading has increased for disadvantaged pupils to 78% in 2013, up from 73% in 2011.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Mr Nick Gibb question first answered 14/01/2015 15:07:58 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb
