Barbara Bleiman 🎓 Education is Conversation
Learning *about* a book, being given knowledge of context, being tested on that, annotating extracts based on what your teacher tells you, is not the same as reading a book. In KS3, students need to read lots of books & talk about them, alongside studying some in more detail.

Why the Classroom Read-Aloud Still Matters Some of the deepest comprehension I ever saw from students happened during classroom read-alouds. Stories don’t just build knowledge. They build readers. open.substack.com/pub/danapalubi…

Students absolutely benefit from learning how sentences work. But strong writing doesn’t grow from sentence drills alone. It grows when students have ideas worth writing about and time to draft, revise, and expand those ideas.
