@literacytutor5 Enjoy Geraldine! This is my first choice for festive reading, then a couple more on the Kindle. Have a lovely, restful Christmas break and a Happy New Year. 🎄

Practising what I preach! My leisure reading line up over the festive season 🔍. Please share your anticipated reads to help you wind down over the holiday period.

@literacytutor5 Good luck Geraldine, you will be fantastic. I will catch the recording! What a brilliant conference so far! #ReconstructingReading

If you can join me at 9:30am (UK time) tomorrow for my talk sas part of the National Literacy Trust's conference, it would be great to have you there! 😉

@literacytutor5 How exciting Geraldine, enjoy!!

Just in case I forget who I am while at the Reading League’s Annual Conference 😅. The line up of speakers is stellar 👌🫶

@literacytutor5 How exciting Geraldine! No better person for the job. All the best for the year ahead.

Today I begin a year long secondment w/ the Dept of Education (NI) to assist w/ the formation of a new literacy strategy. I look forward to visiting lots of schools to discuss the way ahead. Please reach out if you would like to chat. Best wishes for a successful new school year.

A well-deserved win! ✨ We’re celebrating teachers on #TheOneShow this week and @RyanHand_ helps us surprise the winner of the @teachingawards ‘Outstanding New Teacher’ category 👏 #TheOneShow 👉 bbc.in/416BkfC #TeachingHeroes

Loved our @BBCOneShow reveals again this evening, two amazing educators championing women and girls in STEM and inspiring their pupils to learn and love science. A special appearance from Dame Maggie Aderin was the cherry on top. Congratulations to them both! #WomenInStem

@literacytutor5 @patjburke @MrFerguson85 Thank you for sharing Geraldine...exactly what I needed. So much to explore.

Rather than wait until I’d explored ALL of this fabulous resource from The Reading League on post-primary literacy support, I thought I’d share it now. There’s SO MUCH to dig to! Enjoy! 👌👏👏👏. @patjburke @MrFerguson85 #toc_Supporting_Adolescent_Students_With_Language" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">thereadingleague.org/compass/adoles…
