@BarbaraBleiman We had a brilliant presentation by ERA @LondonLATE yearly planning meeting yesterday! Planning to collaborate across the year and invite them to a conference. Would love to know what #TeamEnglish think of the grammar resources + lit archives

Great to start the term with a meeting of our committee. We’re already getting excited about our @BFIEducation December conference!

@EngChatUK I wasn’t at Lit Drive but the week before I was at @LondonLATE and I took away a lot! I think one of my main ones was the emotional connection that reading texts aloud can create which also aids memory. I also thought oral story telling and it’s links to writing was important

Had a fantastic time @LondonLATE and brilliant workshop with @galiamelon ! So many writing prompts and ideas!!

@mtptproject @LondonLATE mine and @pinklisa_marie ‘s children warmly welcomed today during the key note and workshops (as well as being the focus of her wonderful and thought provoking workshop!) and @galiamelon ‘s brilliant closing poetry reading

Reading aloud is *so* important! As well as being read to by my parents as a kid, which I loved, I had amazing teachers at @PoyntonHigh who read aloud in English classes and showed us how important it is as a way of learning about texts 👌 1/2

@Martell_Tom Just been to a wonderful workshop @londonLATE exploring the variety of ways primary classrooms ‘do’ reading. Phonics being a small part- guided reading, listening to stories, telling and retelling, drawing and playing. Phonics is there and useful but part of a wider culture

Starting them young! Some of our youngest members reflecting on their learning today. 🤍

Closing keynote from Kauthar Proposch: ‘My Reading Journey’, with bonus Buraanbur Somali poetry performance! 👍

The pleasure of being read aloud to, worries about ‘just reading’ to classes, the emotional impact of reading aloud and being read to, reading aloud to check for mistakes & fully understand texts oral poetry traditions across the world #teamenglish

My poetry workshop at @LondonLATE today is FULLY BOOKED! Wow. People love poetry. Who knew?! 😂

@LondonLATE this Morning teachers are learning about and discussing reading aloud with Dr Sam Duncan for our opening key note #teamenglish
