Inside the Reading Gap
Thinking Reading
Fréquence : 1 épisode/1j. Total Éps: 5
Millions leave school unable to read properly. This four-part podcast uncovers the hidden literacy crisis, its human cost, and the solutions that can change lives.
This problem has inflicted incalculable harm and blighted lives with misery. The worst part is that this is unnecessary – we have the knowledge we need to teach all children and young people to read. The solutions are far cheaper than the ongoing costs of illiteracy.
In this four-part podcast, you will hear from headteachers and principals, teachers, charity leaders, researchers and academics, literacy teaching specialists, and most importantly, young people and adults who have struggled with their reading. We tell the story of their pain and frustration, and the incredible power that learning to read confers when they finally get the help that they need.

1. The Silent Epidemic
Saison 1 · Épisode 1
dimanche 21 juin 2026 • Durée 20:36
The number of people who lack basic literacy skills is of epidemic proportions, but most able readers will never know that friends, colleagues or relatives can’t read properly. In this episode, we explore what ‘functional’ illiteracy means, the multi-faceted impacts on all aspects of their lives, and the costs to us as a society. And all this raises the question: how did we get to this place, when we fund education for every child to the age of at least 16?

2. Locked Out
Saison 1 · Épisode 2
dimanche 21 juin 2026 • Durée 15:31
The correlation between imprisonment and poor literacy is strong. While correlation is not cause, there is no doubt that poor literacy increases the chances of incarceration, and that it makes it much harder for prison to have a positive impact. In this episode, you’ll hear experts describe the links between poor literacy and imprisonment, the challenges of the prison environment for improving literacy skills, and what it will take to make things better.

3. Reading: Second Nature?
Saison 1 · Épisode 3
dimanche 21 juin 2026 • Durée 39:53
As a society, we have a wide range of explanations for why so many can’t read after eleven years of formal education, including deprivation, lack of intelligence, poor motivation, and presumed disabilities. In this episode, we show how those beliefs don’t hold water and instead show that teaching is the solution. We look at what can be done in schools to prevent literacy problems at the scale we currently see in our society.

4. Hope
Saison 1 · Épisode 4
dimanche 21 juin 2026 • Durée 34:03
A key theme of this series is that there is hope. Reading problems are solvable, and in this episode, we explain what it takes to do that, and that we can achieve far more than is usually thought possible. For people who mastered reading as children, it can be difficult to imagine the life-changing power that learning to read brings. The stories you’ll hear will make clear the radical changes in people’s lives when they finally learn to read after struggling for years.
