"Phonics is killing a love of reading!"

Try telling that to this nearly six year old who just realised that he could read his big sister's Harry Potter book!

He's ABSOLUTELY BUZZING and so proud of himself.

Explicit instruction and lots of reading practise opens that 'door'!

If you found the quote below jarring or crass - for example, because you are raising or teaching children who can't communicate orally or can't hear speech - then the Oracy Commission's report is a bit more nuanced than this https://t.co/gRC3qpmleU

We think you’ll have a lot to say here: DfE study: Gene testing could be used to “pre-diagnose” SEND, helping to “streamline” support for those at “most risk”. The findings examined the implications of future genomics technologies on the education sector. https://t.co/DdLPNaAW9Q

[Charlotte Hacking @charliehacking]

Interesting points for reflection in this article. I’d also add a question about how much time children have to engage in meaningful dialogue and sustained shared thinking in Early Years, particularly in Reception, whether this has changed over the last 5 years or so and why…
