Those who fail to learn to read early on often start to dislike reading. They read less than others \u2013 and less often \u2013 and do not accumulate the background knowledge and vocabulary from reading that their peers do. The word-rich get richer, while the word-poor get poorer&#8217; (DfE, 2022, p.67)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The reading framework sets out the core principles of teaching reading for children both in the early years and also for those who may not have mastered the foundations, such as those who enter Secondary education without the basics in place to access their curriculum. The guidance aims to create a school environment where every child learns to read and learns to love reading.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Undergraduate Postgraduate Early reading &amp;
