</p><p> </p><p>The Department also publishes the percentage of pupils meeting the
expected standard of phonic decoding by the end of Year 2.<sup>2,[3]</sup></p><p>
</p><p>The Department recognises that more work needs to be done to tackle regional
variations in phonics screening check results. To this end, a new national network
of 32 English hubs has been announced, with £26.3 million invested to improve educational
outcomes for the most disadvantaged children, particularly in underperforming schools.</p><p>
</p><p>Due to the success of previous phonics roadshows which help schools use systematic
synthetic phonics to support reading development, the Department has invested in a
further 24 phonics roadshows in 2018-19. These will take place in local authority
areas where phonics screening check scores in 2018 were below the national average.</p><p>
