'6 strategies to support reading for students with SEND'
"Shared reading, done well, may just be one of the most important things that students with special needs do and learn in classrooms, so focusing on doing is effectively is well worth our time."

Maybe this is too spicy a take for a Friday morning, but this data is completely unreflective of what I believe is classroom reality.
In the dozens of schools I have visited, there are only TWO where "ask a question, pause, then nominate a respondent" was done consistently.
In the dozens of schools I have visited, there is only ONE where teachers insisted on full sentence answers.
The idea that 78% of teachers are "checking the understanding of all students during the lesson" beggars belief.
Three options:
A. My experience is wrong
B. Teachers are liars
C. Teachers, like all humans, are delusional about their own expertise

A fantastic teacher said to me yesterday ‘the biggest problem in schools today is that too many children don’t care, it’s a growing number, so much effort to get them to do anything (in general terms)’.
Pupils are provided an unprecedented standard of teaching and learning, more support and opt out opportunities than ever before. The passivity is a huge problem and this isn’t about teachers and schools IMO.
