Word order, sentences with linking words

'In practice, both writing and reading in primary school still are considered subordinate to speech and listening within foreign language teaching.'

Where does 'still' need to be when a sentence as such entails a verb and participle?
Does 'still' need to be before or after 'are'?

Thank you so much in advance
