It is now widely recognised that standards of literacy are very poor in the UK, both in adults and children. Attention is being given to ensuring that student teachers are taught how to teach reading, and the Literacy Task Force has also put forward plans for a programme of literacy summer schools. There is now widespread agreement on the best way to teach children to read, and this is reflected in the National Literacy Project, which was launched in Jan 1997 in almost 300 primary schools around the UK.
