Literacy approaches for struggling readers in secondary school https://t.co/ZeMmKhXp8D

[prof pat thomson @ThomsonPat]

A blended approach to teaching reading means accepting there isn’t a simple magic formula suitable for all children, and that tests don’t assess everything that matters. Anathema to a government who want quick fixes and simple sound bytes. https://t.co/Yr0wiujyk4

[Uta Frith @utafrith]

I share these concerns.

This is really useful for secondary humanities teachers - not just for those with EAL but for all students with limited oral language skills

Where is the comma In "God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen" supposed to go? You'll be surprised! https://t.co/luJ1ii4FXM

England’s DfE now requires synthetic phonics schemes which it vets. It uses a dubious high stakes ‘Phonics Screening Check’ to hold schools to account. It uses the inspectorate as an enforcer of SP. Our new paper will expose lack of research evidence to support this.

[Dominic Wyse @Dominic_Wyse]

Like your paper - we’ve cited it in ours.

GROW is a school-based literacy catch-up approach for students with literacy skills below age-related expectations in secondary school. GROW professional learning develops knowledge about literacy which is transferable to whole class teaching. Next course: https://t.co/2UzAqpYF6k

It takes humility to consider information that contradicts your opinions. You're willing to concede that you might be wrong.

It takes curiosity to actively seek evidence that challenges your views. You're eager to find out if you might be wrong.

[Jonathan Solity @op_ti_ma]

No evidence that any DfE validated SSP progs are effective. Publication of results of 2016-18 @EducEndowFoundn evaln of RWInc postponed 3 times. Now due in 2023! Surely teachers deserve to know whether evidence shows a programme used in 25% of schools & 24/34 English Hubs works?
