Thank you, Tim, for a fantastic end to Day Two of our International Reading Conference!

Your passion was undeniable as you kept us engaged with the importance of vocabulary, fluency, and shared a treasure trove of resources.

To quote one of our attendees:

“There is nothing I haven’t taken away.”

Farrah Serroukh explores degrees of erasure in books & what makes good representative literature. Exploring gaps & silences in texts fosters critical literacy.

Wonderful presentation from @kashleyenglish on constructing & sustaining a RfP ethos. I like the focus on it being an 'invitation'. @OpenUni_RfP @ReadSolutionsUK @baasitsiddiqui @NI_Teachers @BrownlowEnglish @TheEdtechImpact

@trustingreaders @DonnaHazzardNI @ReadSolutionsUK @baasitsiddiqui @StMarys_Belfast @StMarysBelfast @NI_Teachers @BrownlowEnglish @TheEdtechImpact So: “How much can your team find out about (eg) the Roman Empire from this text that’s aimed at children 2yrs older than you?” ‘Risky Reading’ communicates to them that this is going to be tough, but that’s part of the fun!

[PRIMARY EDUCATION ADVISORS @EnglishHubUK]

@trustingreaders @DonnaHazzardNI @ReadSolutionsUK @baasitsiddiqui @StMarys_Belfast @StMarysBelfast @NI_Teachers @BrownlowEnglish @TheEdtechImpact Children (& adults!) have to be resilient in the face of hard, unappealing texts - in learning & in work. RR is a light, low-stakes, collaborative way of getting children used to this challenge without panicking them.

Wonderful workshop by @MichaelRosenYes. Key take aways...'poems as places that generate talk,' 'play with words' & facilitate metacognition. @IRC2024 @EnglishHubUK @ReadSolutionsUK @baasitsiddiqui @NI_Teachers @BrownlowEnglish @StMarysBelfast
