Teachers' Use of Generative AI to Support Literacy in 2024
Irene Picton; Christina Clark
National Literacy Trust
Recent developments in technology have accelerated the influence of artificial intelligence (AI) on our lives. The ability of generative-AI tools such as ChatGPT, Gemini and Claude to both 'write' (generate new texts) and 'read' (e.g. summarise texts) in a human-like manner means they are set to play an increasingly important role in the literacy lives of children, young people and adults. Anticipating this, the National Literacy Trust is exploring how such platforms might influence, and even redefine, what it means to be literate in the digital age. Based on data from the National Literacy Trust's Annual Literacy Survey, this report explores teachers' attitudes, behaviour and confidence around using AI to support literacy, as well as complementing similar research with children and young people carried out in 2023 and 2024.
