The latest PISA report shows that the global decline in reading ability did not reverse as COVID school closures retreated into the past. If anything, it has sped up since 2022.
The authors often point to digital tech as a possible contributor. For example, this figure shows that students from phone-free schools are less likely to be distracted by digital devices during class, compared to students in schools that don’t have a phone-free policy. The two worst policies involve placing the burden on teachers to set rules in their own classes.
This is more evidence that phone free schools are better schools.
What a great day for training, not too hot and not too cold. 👏👏 A big welcome to all our wonderful new volunteers, I hope you enjoy your day and are all fired up to get into schools and get started.

Beyond the Book.
What a riveting session from Debra Whiting, an ex head Teacher from a primary school in Great Yarmouth on the impact of deprivation on reading. Spot on. I hope you all enjoyed it too.

Yay. We have just featured in the free Caister Community Connect magazine and in 2026 we were one of a number of recipients of a Caister Community Award. Thank you Caister Parish Council for supporting us and the work we do.
