Empower pupil choice and create the English students of the future
Emma Braithwaite, Head of Skills and Engagement at The Reading Agency, shares how we can foster a love of reading in schools through empowering pupil choice.
At Pearson, we are always trying to gain feedback from teaching experts across the nation in order to drive further improvements and developments. It's now more important than ever, that we aim to fully understand and support both teachers and learners by providing solutions and delivering what is really needed.

All of our products and services are developed along with our educational experts, and have the rigour and attention to detail that we know customers expect of us.
We also recognise that these products need to work in the real world - our customers are using our products each and every day to support their own best practice.
Schools from all over the UK tell us about their experience of teaching with Pearson, from the ways in which Exploring Science is helping some schools to provide a broad and balanced science curriculum from KS3 to GCSE, to the way Science Bug is helping to spark imagination, fuel curiosity and nurture inspired and confident young scientists at Primary level.
As part of our commitment to providing you with the best switch experience, we asked centres who have recently switched to us for GCSE to describe their reasons for switching, the barriers they faced, and the level of support they received.

It’s almost Phonics Screening Check (PSC) time, and many primary schools will already have started their preparations to help each one of their learners boost their life-long literacy journey.
