02/ The brief

What the notice says

Not fully read: this is the notice text; attached documents are not read.

Literacy provision in Northern Ireland primary schools currently varies widely, with no

system wide standardised approach to early reading instruction. Although the curriculum

provides support and schools implement their own interventions, significant attainment

gaps persist, particularly in Communication at Key Stage 2.

This research project is designed to address these gaps by evaluating the impact of a

structured synthetic phonics programme, Read Write Inc., across a stratified and

representative sample of schools. The aim is to generate robust, generalisable evidence

to inform the new literacy strategy and curriculum reform. This initiative forms a core

component of the Department’s TransformED programme and directly supports the

Minister’s priorities for raising literacy outcomes system wide.
