Education 🌟 Early Years 🌟 Beyond

@BillesleySchool @ArticuLaight @Mr_MattFlynn @anita_chahal @nickharrison85 @LizzyFord8 @gouldygirlie Assess phonics regularly and 'keep them up', rather than 'catch them up'. Match guided reading books to the early reader's phonics skills.
Give them 'the skill' to read, which in turn will nurture 'the will' through reading for pleasure.

@BillesleySchool @LizzyFord8 @gouldygirlie @nickharrison85 @anita_chahal @ArticuLaight Inclusivity runs through every part of the school.
Every teacher is a teacher of SEND.
What's good for those with SEND, is good for all.

Very thought provoking thread about attainment Vs ability.

My take away: use high quality intervention as a well-timed boost to skillset and confidence plus effective scaffolds

[SuperNazSocialist🟠🌤 #Antiracist she/her @supernazma]

“If a child enters the school as low ability…they will always be low ability.” Please discuss. Very interested in views.

@Whitefieldhead Looks gorgeous! Where do you get your lettering and borders from?

[Aimee Stephens @AimeeInEY]

Any great training you're using?

I'm looking to improve the knowledge around social and emotional barriers to learning in EYFS. Those times when a whole school behaviour policy doesn't quite fit for the youngest children who aren't yet self regulating. #EYFS #edutwitter

The POWER of storytelling from BIRTH. He is only just two years old. "...He was too scary... I sent him back..." 🥰 #EYFS #internalisation #t4w #repeatingrefrain

Take a peep at the setting my lovely team work so hard on. 💚It's a passion 💚. The children thrive in their CLL, PSED, Physical and the all important characteristics! @Mrs_Minhas @MaryamIqball @BGrice_22 Big ICT thanks to @freemotely!

We keep spinning these two plates of vocabulary instruction in our EYFS @TheOaklandsBham

[Research Schools Network @rs_network]

'The key to ‘direct’ or ‘explicit’ instruction is that teachers are carefully selecting words to teach (beforehand) and providing myriad opportunities for learners to ‘Power-Up’ new words'.

NEW blog from @StMattResearch on vocabulary instruction.
