The ROGO index

A new measure of children’s reading at age 11 has been launched alongside resources and research-based advice for schools and parents.

The ROGO Index has been developed by the Read On. Get On coalition, which includes the National Literacy Trust.

The Index is based on a tripartite model of reading well at age 11, which asserts that a good reader has strong cognitive skills (including phonics and decoding), affective processes (including high levels of reading enjoyment), and reading behaviours (including reading outside school on a daily basis).

The ROGO Index was published for the first time in December and showed that children’s levels of reading enjoyment (75 per cent) and daily reading frequency (50 per cent) are lower than their levels of cognitive reading skills (85 per cent).
