Education secretary says schemes aim to ensure that ‘every child will get the best literacy teaching’

Phonics roadshows and English hubs are among a range of measures announced by the government in an attempt to improve child literacy.

The programmes will form part of the drive to tackle inequality and ensure “every child will get the best literacy teaching”, the education secretary, Justine Greening, has said.

The Department for Education said a £7.7m curriculum fund aimed to encourage the development of high quality teaching resources, while it was hoped a £5.7m investment would help boost literacy and numeracy skills in 469 schools around the country.
