Loving the recent excerpts from @Doug_Lemov on reading fluency and comprehension. Reading is so complex and cannot be reduced down to “skills”

[Doug Lemov @Doug_Lemov]

The belief in transferable skills is perhaps the most common chimera among teachers of reading.

Imagine a handful of universal tools we could teach students and in so doing allow them to understand every text they read.

Who wouldn’t seek out “the key to all inferences,” for example, knowing that once mastered this skill would allow them to unlock what was unspoken in every story?

Who among us would not dream such a beautiful dream?

The problem of course is that for all the beauty of the dream, the evidence is squarely against it.

An excerpt from my forthcoming book with @EricaWoolway & @ColleenDriggs on the science of reading.

Proud to have my mum visiting our school today! The students have loved hearing her speak and exploring the rocks she brought in for them.

Thank you to our special visitor today who told Y3 all about how they climbed their mountain and studied geography at university. Our curriculum links to different sorts of careers so students are exposed to a wide variety of options #careers

"That's the thing about books. They let you travel without moving your feet." Jhumpa Lahiri, Author.

We love #WorldBookDay, and this year our students and staff did not disappoint with their tributes to their favourite characters.
