The presentation summarises the key recommendations from Rose and endorses the ‘Simple View of Reading' as the preferred approach to the teaching of phonics and early reading. The presentation is explicit about the implications for teacher training in schools and other settings. It establishes the expectation that trainees should be taught that word recognition and comprehension should be regarded as separate dimensions of reading. By inference, the ‘Simple View of Reading' is thus regarded as part of the subject knowledge base required in order for trainees to meet the requirements of QTS Standard 14.http://www.ttrb.ac.uk/ViewArticle2.aspx?contentId=15421
