The Lifelong Literacy project, funded by the Cognition Trust, asked a deceptively simple blue skies question: might the teaching of reading be changed by the integration of key competencies into the reading programmes of primary schools, and if so, how and to what effect?
This paper begins by briefly outlining the context in which this question was framed. It then outlines how a New Zealand Council for Educational Research (NZCER) team investigated the potential of the key competencies to change the ways reading is taught. The third and longest section describes one thread of the multiplystranded findings that emerged. The final section discusses the implications of these findings, both for classroom practice and for further research.
