@BarbaraBleiman We had a brilliant presentation by ERA @LondonLATE yearly planning meeting yesterday! Planning to collaborate across the year and invite them to a conference. Would love to know what #TeamEnglish think of the grammar resources + lit archives
@EngChatUK I wasn’t at Lit Drive but the week before I was at @LondonLATE and I took away a lot! I think one of my main ones was the emotional connection that reading texts aloud can create which also aids memory. I also thought oral story telling and it’s links to writing was important
@mtptproject @LondonLATE mine and @pinklisa_marie ‘s children warmly welcomed today during the key note and workshops (as well as being the focus of her wonderful and thought provoking workshop!) and @galiamelon ‘s brilliant closing poetry reading
Reading aloud is *so* important! As well as being read to by my parents as a kid, which I loved, I had amazing teachers at @PoyntonHigh who read aloud in English classes and showed us how important it is as a way of learning about texts 👌 1/2
@Martell_Tom Just been to a wonderful workshop @londonLATE exploring the variety of ways primary classrooms ‘do’ reading. Phonics being a small part- guided reading, listening to stories, telling and retelling, drawing and playing. Phonics is there and useful but part of a wider culture
The pleasure of being read aloud to, worries about ‘just reading’ to classes, the emotional impact of reading aloud and being read to, reading aloud to check for mistakes & fully understand texts oral poetry traditions across the world #teamenglish
