@RuthMcFarlane13 Brilliant news Ruth, exactly the barriers I wanted to crush with my reader pen studies. The MOJ saying yes to reading pens opens so many doors. Privileged to share my research yesterday with @ScanningPens

I've heard cricketers want a virtual Barmy Army, idea for my pal @AndyBarmyArmy. Go buy blow up dolls, they have an 'oh' mouth which could be interpretated as excitement or anticipation. Add accessories, knitting needles, cucumber sandwich, nice local ale, virtual Barmy Army!

2 days and counting! #prison #Dyslexia #adulteducation

[Christine Franklin @CF_Consultant]

@JoAnneGross1 @ehanford @ddmdaac @EdWriters Agreed, but also silos of policymakers, focused on statistical evidence, which we know ignores the rich data of individuals, learning differently, I'm doing research in a primary, temporarily moved into homes, and plan to share with a wider community, still a small audience.

[Christine Franklin @CF_Consultant]

Coffee and toast! Perfect

Spent last few days working on an interim report for my current HMPPS study, why interim? Not sure if we'll get to finish and it's too important to put to one side!

[Christine Franklin @CF_Consultant]

@Prison_Learning @coracleinside @beyond_recovery @HmpPeterborough @planb_prisons @HMP_Brixton @stafford_hmp Contact @ScanningPens reference ExamReaders as they have no WiFi connectivity, promote independent reading have been the focus of 4 studies on prisons to great success....

OK. Advice needed, client has cash bank acc. Can't pay her bills, payment slip to shop, hand over cash, these shops aren't taking cash! It's how she buys food too! What are these cash account holders to do? #EqualityForAll #deprivedfamilies

Today I interviewed 13 people: learners and tutors, all overseen by the most amazing film crew, professional and dedicated, all involved are working or serving in prison. I'm humbled and inspired they shared their stories with me. #prisoninterview #PrisonSchool #ReaderPen

Day 2 with my prison study interviews. Today I meet the tutors who support learners with little or no reading abilities. They are telling me the #ReaderPen is called The Magic Pen at this prison #EqualityForAll #dyslexia @scanningpens
