I'm thinking of providing a webinar of 'Phonics Poor Practice' (and misconceptions) - some of which has been caused or exacerbated by official materials and guidance. Anyone interested? It will be free of course.

NEW resource... the result of me experimenting with how to include more short stories in literacy lessons. This particular booklet is on 'The Story of an Hour'. Lots of pre-reading/vocab work inspired by @AVisserFuray. Use/chuck as needed! @Team_English1 https://t.co/qHyZW0pokH

@blaqkgloss @Team_English1 We've had in a few. Usually quite good. Best by far though was this year's Romeo and Juliet by @OrangeTreeThtr . Superb. Kids were still talking about it in the lunch queue 3 days after!

"We decided on the EQ ‘Who were the British?’ because we wanted to address the misconception that stories of migration and ‘Britishness’ were somehow separate." @CorinneGoullee @kath_goudie & trainee @MrRagdale know exactly how to do it. Contextualise migration historically.

@fod3 My neighbours are building a new house in their garden! Today, over the fence whilst playing with my daughter, I heard the builder proudly proclaim, 'I've never read a book in my life - ha ha ha!' Not sure what's annoyed me more today!
