Join me on Tuesday 18 November, I'm sharing a 6-point plan to reinvigorate KS3 curricula with the new GCSE in mind. We'll explore how to downsize - personalise - organise - sound out - connect words - and communicate. :) https://t.co/4tautWRd4u

@RachelHawkes60 @VEverettmfl Teaching phonics since year 7 had a profound effect on our French reading and listening results last summer. There was no dictation / reading aloud when we designed our curriculum - so important to teach it!
