The government is right to promote reading for pleasure, but surely its priority should be helping the quarter of pupils who are falling behind with their reading, argues @FFTEdu founder Mike Fischer

Following the @RhysWilliamsTV investigation into reading in Wales, it finally feels like @AddysgEducation and @WG_Education are listening. Can't believe we recorded this over 3 years ago, @ImpactWales... maybe @lynne_neagle will listen now?

@RhysWilliamsTV Agree. A fundamental approach as part of a balanced early literacy offer. Something I’m privileged to do daily with FFT Literacy a not for profit organisation working on phonics and reading programmes. https://t.co/IYw7UnJHL8

NEW: A special report on Wales’ reading crisis.


We’ve been investigating the way reading is taught in early years and found that schools in Wales continue to use long debunked ways to teach reading, with dire consequences.

[Kathy Rastle @Kathy_Rastle]

Why aren’t pupils in Wales getting the excellent, evidence-based reading instruction available in England? Vital reporting from @RhysWilliamsTV.

[Dr James Shea @englishspecial]

What is going on with girls at the borderline of maths grade 4?

@FFTEduDatalab picks up a problem that hasn’t yet cut through to mainstream Ed news, but teachers will likely know the problem and potential causes.

#ResultsDay2024 is on Thursday. And we'll be interested to see entry numbers and retention rates for T-Levels.

Retention rates last year were poor: just two thirds of those due to complete T-Levels in 2023 finished the course.

[FFT Education Datalab @FFTEduDatalab]

#ResultsDay is fast approaching. And we're expecting a boost in entry numbers for some of the STEM subjects, including further maths, physics and computer science.
