Figure one maps average EYFS scores against corresponding reading outcomes. A child with an EYFS
score between 1-3 goes on to achieve an average of level 1 in their Key Stage 1 reading assessment.
However, a child who achieves an EYFS score of 9 is more likely to achieve a level 3 in their Key Stage 1
reading assessment. This data highlights that good quality early learning is an important part of providing
children with the best start in life.
