The toolkit provides a set of double-sided reading strategy pupil cards, enabling children to take greater responsibility for their own learning. It is important to note that reading strategies are not discrete and therefore the overlap should be acknowledged with children. 

The cards can be used in a variety of ways, for example to:

• explicitly focus on teaching individual strategies through engaging texts
• towards using a selection of cards to encourage dialogue about what strategies are needed/have been used for a task or discussion
• use the cards to identify gaps in children’s understanding and barriers to learning
• use the list on the back of strategy cards to deepen children’s application and teacher’s subject knowledge
