New Primary Framework for Literacy and Mathematics
Measures to further improve numeracy and literacy standards in primary schools across England were unveiled on 7th September by Education and Skills Secretary Alan Johnson.
Teachers will be given new guidance to make phonics their prime approach to early reading and children will learn their times tables a year earlier as part of a comprehensive package of measures to promote even faster progress in English and maths.
The renewed Primary Framework for Literacy and Mathematics builds on progress made since the introduction of the daily literacy hour and maths lessons and underlines the Government's determination to continue to drive up standards in the basics.
The Framework has been developed after thorough consultation and feedback from teachers and practitioners and takes into account the latest research and best classroom practice. Every primary school is being given additional funding this year to support up to 14 days training to implement the new guidance.
