Seeing a lot of schools mandating retrieval practice in every lesson but also seeing quite a few misconceptions. A quick thread: 10 ways to get retrieval practice wrong ⬇️ 🧵
Finished delivering my first @SWLiteracy course today! Had a fab time and such a lovely group; I’m so pleased I’ve helped them on their way to becoming teachers of Sounds-Write ☺️ 📚
@klairwellings@UPS_UK@UPS_UK you have taken extra money for fastest delivery of urgent passport documents and they are now over 48 hours late, with no way to get any information- tracking is useless as was customer services- shocking!

We made the list! I'm thrilled to share that we've been approved by the Colorado Department of Education as an evidence-based phonics provider. We're happy to be part of the movement towards evidence-based reading instruction in the USA!
Had a brilliant day working with Margaret from @KineticLetters to further develop our teaching of handwriting.
In our opinion, @KineticLetters for hw and @SWLiteracy for spelling/phonics are the dream team for developing the essential transcription skills needed for writing.
Our Year 2 children enjoyed playing a game of speed read this morning in phonics! With a partner, the children had to read as many words as they could in 20 seconds. We had some competitive partner work! @Rise_MAT#flourishandsucceed@SWLiteracy#soundswrite#phonics
@Mrs_Foyle@L_Batch7@SurridgeMiss There is one other hugely important player as well - your son, who is combining all his decoding skills with his knowledge of the world. Do his skills and knowledge enable him to decode some words containing sound-spelling correspondences he hasn’t yet been formally taught?
This half term, I was lucky enough to take part in ‘Leading Phonics Masterclass’ from @SWLiteracy 🥰
