To help support home learning and maximise the impact of work set, the EEF has produced some initial planning and reflection tools. EEF intends to draw upon the expertise of schools, further developing resources that can help everyone ‘bounce back’ when schools do re-open.

The EEF research underpins the RIC Literacy plan and these resources draw existing evidence together. There is, for example, support  for home reading/talking  that can be accessed via the “Communicating Effectively with Families”  section.

There is also a checklist/flowchart that makes recommendations for disadvantaged learners/families with  supporting links . Many of  the recommendations  will be familiar as they are  integral to the effective pedagogy underpinning the RIC Literacy Academy’s programmes .

There are, of course , the usual links to resources  but  there are also very useful  frameworks  for texts to parents that provide unpatronising advice about supporting learning at home. They also provide good advice about  how to minimise the  flow of information to parents/carers, especially those with limited access to the internet or  difficulties with data usage and cost. The advice also provides guidance about managing  expectations re work/study at home.
