## Description

\*\*DEADLINE EXTENDED TO 5pm WEDNESDAY 23rd MAY\*\* Evaluation of the barriers and enablers to people achieving successful, high quality Shared Reading groups----- We wish to work with an organisation/individual who can conduct a focused evaluation of our previous experience training and supporting individuals to deliver Shared Reading across the UK----- As we kick off a national scaling project we want to learn from some of the 5000\+ people who have been recruited, trained and/or supported by The Reader previously to understand what the key barriers and enablers to people achieving successful, high quality shared reading groups have been----- Within this overarching aim, we expect this evaluation to consider several questions: - What has enabled Shared Reading groups to keep running? - Are these groups retaining basic fidelity to the Shared Reading model? If not, why not? - Are there any local innovations that The Reader can learn from in terms of delivery practices? - Why do Reader Leaders stop delivering their Shared Reading group? - How satisfied have past Shared Reading trainees been with their relationship with The Reader, and what would they like to see change?----- Tasks include: design methodology, collect and analyse data, condense findings into high-quality report that outlines findings and makes clear recommendations for future roll-out based on these results----- We anticipate the evaluation methodology will involve digital surveys and stakeholder interviews, including face-to-face, online and telephone conversations and the size of the evaluation population to be approximately 75-100 people\. Additional information: Please refer to the attached Invitation to Tender for full details of this opportunity and how to submit\. Please note that the deadline for submissions has been extended to 5pm on Wednesday 23rd May\.
