Reform 1
READING TARGETS: Establish ambitious but achievable reading proficiency targets
We must measure progress and achieve results.
The next National School Reform Agreement must clearly outline national targets for reading, based on the new NAPLAN proficiency benchmarks.
The starting point for setting these targets is an understanding that 95% of students can meet reading benchmarks when they are supported by high-quality evidence-based instruction for all students, with additional support provided to those students who require it.
These targets would affirm our collective belief that all children can learn to read and write, regardless of background.
