Reading tip. I’m sure you all do it, but I can’t rate echo reading ENOUGH. The progress in confidence in reading aloud, understanding where to emphasise parts of writing in speech and understanding of punctuation is incredible my class have made. One secondary teachers should do.

[MsSLeishman @MsLeishman]

The language choices! Wow wow wow! What a fantastic half term year 3 are having.

[MsSLeishman @MsLeishman]

4 days close analysis of a passage has taken us from one response to the other - Year 3 always making me proud.

‘Children are often so much more intelligent than their reading ages allow. So we MUST make time to read aloud to them in our adult voice’ They can then experience more than they can read themselves. @CressidaCowell is sowing some beautiful RfP seeds on @BBCRadio4 @OpenUni_RfP

Two Latin words for a star or constellation: 'aster' and 'sidus'. They glimmer across English:
disaster: an ill-starred event.
asterisk: a little star.
astronaut: a star-sailor.
consider: to observe the stars.
desire: to wish upon a star.

[Hydeh Fayaz @hydeh_rose]

To mark the end of #learningdisabilityweek2020 we are launching @JoeC0ok spoken word video, filmed with children at @TheOaklandsBham in February, Which was for the @NAHTnews conference. @Summit_LT @Specialrules1 @nasen_org @freemotely @MrCourt123 @MissJohnston2 🙌🏽

[Hydeh Fayaz @hydeh_rose]

Feels like a staff meeting again! ☺️Such an important message - roles such as clarifier, questioner when reading, pupils can voice the meta-cognition that good readers internalise. Helping all pupils, not just weaker readers @EducEndowFoundn @StMattResearch @HuntingEnglish

[Hydeh Fayaz @hydeh_rose]
