@RetroMoviesDB It’s this guy and you all know it.

My new book, Primary Reading Simplified, is released this Monday (27th January).

Briefly, I'd like to explain why it exists, who I think will find it useful and where you can find it.

@Suchmo83 As a teacher with crohns, we sometimes get exhaustion and joint pain. Being able to sit or perch for a couple of minutes, whilst still teaching, is invaluable and can mean that you can actually finish the day.

This is probably the most important book that any primary teacher or leader will read.

I know that’s a big statement & I don’t make it lightly.

Reading it was bittersweet - I was so sad I didn’t have it when I started, but thrilled that the profession now does.

Game changer.

I've written a new blog which explores 5 key ideas from my new book, Primary Reading Simplified.

I'd really appreciate any retweets.

@MrMetacognition For the example you’ve given I’d probably have to go 45 x 74 and then use place value.
Although, if you’d have gone ___ x 0.75 then I’d have worked it out using halving and quartering.

@MrMetacognition I’m studying (and so is my school) confidence and maths anxiety.

@MrMetacognition X10 and then take away one lot

@THEVIVIENNEUK @CelebMix Voted. Shame they’ve spelled wizard wrong. Hope they get it write when they engrave the award!

@SarahMillican75 If that’s a woman, she’s jealous. If that’s a bloke, “just a little tip” is all he actually has in his trousers! You=awesome. Xx

@MisterFirth @BBCNewsround I think we should actually be focussing on how tiny Gary Barlow is. That’s a whole lot more memes we can make! 🤣
