We are building a national network of schools committed to helping us to understand how CAL:ON resources can help improve literacy outcomes for all learners. This will be followed by a nationwide rollout of programmes in 2027.
Over the next two and a half years, CAL:ON schools will have access to:
Bilingual, evidence-informed programmes and interventions, developed and tested through national research.
Professional Learning (PL) for teachers, literacy coordinators, and school leaders, focused on reading science, language development, inclusive literacy practices, and effective teaching methods.
Digital assessment tools including LanguageScreen, ReadingScreen, and ComprehensionScreen to identify pupils at risk and track progress across the full range of ability.
Ongoing support and collaboration through the national CAL:ON Literacy Hub on Hwb, with access to resources, exemplars, and networks.
