Pathways to Read is a programme designed to equip pupils from year 2 to year 6 with key skills to move them through the reading process towards becoming competent and fluent readers.

The units provide clear detailed lesson plans and resources linked to high-quality texts, ensuring engaging and purposeful reading sessions.

The programme follows a mastery approach to learning with three categories of skills developed each half-term: ongoing skills, core skills and mastery skills. Pupils will focus on 2-3 objectives over the course of each half-term.

Included in the package:

  • Methodology document to support implementation
  • Overview of year group skills and genre coverage
  • Detailed whole class reading plans
  • Detailed grouped reading plans to follow on from each whole class session for Y2-Y6
  • Fully resourced sessions including teaching PowerPoints
  • Progression document to support mixed-age classes
  • Assessment materials
  • Creative links to the wider curriculum when combined with Pathways to Write
