Now this is very interesting, and I don't think at all obvious. Reading challenging texts aloud, and at a fast pace, improved the reading comprehension of all students, but for the lowest achievers, the gains were almost twice as great: https://t.co/TxJ1MZPI4X.

Janet Goodall @janetifimust Tip 9/ Meeting parents outside school will help those who find it difficult to come to school. A leisure centre or local hall? Wherever parents might be comfortable. These first steps can lay the foundations of good relationships #engagefamiliesscot

Janet Goodall's @janetifimust Top Ten Tips for educators: 5/ Parents know their children well, but differently than school staff do. It’s very useful to ask the simple question, ‘What can you tell me about your child that will help me to help them learn?’ #engagefamiliesscot

JanetGoodall's @janetifimust Top10Tips for family engagement: Parents love their children & want the best for them. You too want the best for all of the children you work with. That’s the basis of any engagement strategy-you’re all working for the same goal #engagefamiliesscot

Janet Goodall's @janetifimust Top 10 Tips for family engagement: Parents are as individual as the children in yr class: what works for one doesn't work for all. Get to know parents: what they want & need & what they're already doing to support learning #engagefamiliesscot

Something I'm taking away from the @SEICollab #CollabScot19 event today was to find the radiators and ditch the drains, true collaboration comes from shared visions and staying true to your values. Amazing to also hear @jazampawfarr, ready to make some changes! #bebrave #SWAG
