Abstract
PALL Plus was funded by a Public Education Endowment Trust (PEET) grant and was conducted with the leaders of 12 primary schools serving low socio-economic communities in metropolitan Perth throughout 2013 and 2014. It was a development of the Principals as Literacy Leaders (PALL) pilot project funded by the Commonwealth Government in 2009-10, which was designed to assist primary school principals across Australia to develop their capacity to lead the teaching of reading in their schools.
The aims of PALL Plus were:
1. To develop further the capacity of primary principals and other school leaders to lead literacy learning in low SES schools.
2. To build teacher knowledge of reading development and the pedagogy associated with effective instruction of students who do not acquire reading skills easily.
3. To develop the capacity of Education Assistants to, under the direction of teachers, work intensively with small groups of students to support their beginning reading skills.
4. To enhance the acquisition of basic reading skills in students who are at risk of not learning to read.
