This list of year-by-year statements has been drawn together from England's National Literacy Strategy Framework for Teaching, with a particular focus on reading. The statements also take into account the stages set out in "Progression in Phonics" and the criteria for assessing reading in National Curriculum assessment at Years 2 and 6. It sets out an illustrative set of targets for each year from Reception Year to Year 6 in different aspects of reading. The targets focus on the key aspects of reading that need to be addressed to raise standards. The statements are intended as a practical guide for headteachers and literacy coordinators in steering and monitoring the teaching of reading. (NKA)
