The Changing the Story Reading Programme for pupils in Key Stage 1 was initially developed by the National Literacy Trust through a strategic partnership with Hachette UK. It was later extended to include children in lower Key Stage 2 who require additional support with early reading skills. The programme combines Hodder Education's Reading Planet scheme, supplementary books from Hachette UK Children's Group books, and the National Literacy Trust's expertise and trusted reputation to provide targeted support to the schools and pupils most in need. Over the past three years, the programme has been delivered in 38 schools with a high percentage of children eligible for free school meals, in areas with high literacy vulnerability. Pupils at risk of falling behind in their reading development were identified and asked to take part in the programme. Teachers and teaching assistants were provided with initial training at the beginning of the academic year, after which they started to deliver reading sessions with pupils. Continued support through network meetings, email communication and additional reading-for-pleasure training was offered throughout the academic year. This report presents insight collected from pupils and teachers across the first three years of delivery. It shows the benefits for children's reading skills, enjoyment and confidence, as well as benefits to the school more widely.
