Students who learn to read at secondary school almost invariably comment on how much more confident and calm they feel. Read more in our blog ‘Can Reading Problems Affect Mental Health?’ https://t.co/gausmRrIpy (3 min read).

Good luck Year 11… you’ve got this!

[Miss A Thay @MissThay1]

@_MrLevick Hi Adam,

This sounds so interesting. I don’t suppose I could see what you did in this session and how you approached it?

[Miss A Thay @MissThay1]

@FunkyPedagogy @ArkSchools Will these be recorded for those that can’t attend? ☺️ It would be such a shame to miss!

[Miss A Thay @MissThay1]

Not to mention our literacy faculty is achieving fantastic results with ongoing interventions for our developing readers. Huge thanks to Laura Parkinson for her amazing progress in creating and adapting support for our students. What a year it’s been already! 📚

[Miss A Thay @MissThay1]

I’m so proud of our amazing literacy team! 🩷

Huge shoutout to Jenny Garland, the fantastic librarian at Nuneaton Academy, for creating wonderful opportunities for our pupils this term - this one was a hit!

[Stuart Pryke @SPryke2]

Off to a great start with AIC!

Learning to talk comes naturally, but reading is an invented technology, and teaching it can be complex.

Strange how I’m quite happy standing in front of and teaching hundreds of kids a day, but absolutely terrified of speaking in front of staff for literally 2 MINUTES

This summer, we became homeowners! 🏡

I’m so excited for this new chapter in our lives!

OK here's a rant about A level re-marks.
My son had a below prediction score, so (because I was able to) I paid the £150 per paper re-mark charge. He went up by TEN marks and a whole grade.
The fact that this option is only open to those that can afford it is totally unfair.

[Miss A Thay @MissThay1]

It is an honour to have you as my line manager, leading and guiding the way. Excellent work! 🩷

🚨🚨🧵Delighted to launch my website https://t.co/zrQHmDjnfo This has been a dream for the longest time & I wanted to introduce the platform with my first blog. I feel so proud to be in this position and want to be able to support others to do the same. https://t.co/QxuTsElAsr ✍🏻

At @TrinityAcademyL, we have developed four toolkits to support teachers in their pedagogy.

High-quality CPD is delivered to all staff in these areas, and Curriculum Leaders work with their teams to ensure these strategies are best utilised within their subject area.

A beautiful week in Greece 🇬🇷

I've fully embraced relaxation on holiday this week - I'm already on my seventh book! Definitely the definition of ‘switching off.’

[Miss A Thay @MissThay1]

Brilliant from @Morrisons

Please don’t forget about your local libraries!

Our children should not suffer due to their economic background.

#KeepKidsReading

[National Literacy Trust @Literacy_Trust]

1 in 5 families are buying fewer books because of the cost of living crisis.

We've teamed up with @Morrisons to keep children reading over the summer holidays! Every store has a Kids Corner - a special place to dive into books, games, and puzzles.

[Miss A Thay @MissThay1]

In September, I'll be embracing the role of Director of Literacy, leading my own faculty! Reading opens doors to academic success and a brighter future for our students. But first… SUMMER 🌞
