An enjoyable morning leading CPD on our High Five reading strategies today. These strategies are being adapted for each subject area and used to enhance the delivery of subject content. Thank you to our Art team for their contribution to today's delivery.

@RHelsby @MES_PE_Dept @BrowningYork Glad you've ready had some good suggestions. Have asked my fellow English teachers for some suggestions!

Can anyone in #teamenglish help with some cricket inspired reads?

[Rachel Helsby @RHelsby]

So my son’s new interest is cricket. Has picked up and enjoying this book. Can anyone recommend any more good books (not the usual biographies), TV docs or films with a cricketing theme? @MES_PE_Dept @maidenerlegheng @BrowningYork

Another reminder that clarity is key in communicating any message:

Wise words for our online communications...

What a word list! Does anyone in your family use any of these archaic words?

[Kelly Ashley @kashleyenglish]

Which of these archaic words do you still use? I definitely like to use quite a few! #WordPower #Etymology

#Dickens often read his works aloud, both to friends and families and to paying public audiences. 🎭

He physically altered copies of his own works to assist him in performing by blocking out passages.

✋ More words don’t necessarily mean more value for the reader. It’s about quality, not quantity.
