Every Child a Reader

York Assessment of Reading Comprehension and the Every Child a Reader scheme.

What is 'Every Child a Reader'?

YARC supports the Every Child a Reader schemeIn September 2008 The government-backed "Every Child a Reader" scheme began rolling out across the entire country. The aim of the programme is to ensure that high quality early-years literacy support is received by every child who requires it.

Assessment of basic reading and comprehension is therefore vital to the scheme's success. The York Assessment of Reading for Comprehension (YARC) enables teachers to assess those reading and comprehension skills in children aged 4 to 11.

It is ideal for following up at an individual level after group testing and provides a wide range of invaluable information. YARC consists of two suites of assessments – Early Reading (for pupils aged 4 to 6) and Passage Reading (for pupils aged 5 to 11).
