NEW: The Welsh Government has admitted that it needs to clarify its guidance for schools on how to teach reading.
This is in response to an ITV News investigation which revealed that methods of teaching reading which have been discredited for decades are being used across Wales.

This is now becoming a national news story in Wales. Great to see primary school teachers like @garein and @robrandel being quoted as they have been advocating synthetic phonics for reading for years.

@danboonjones @SwanseaReject Saw them live at Hammersmith Palais in December 1994.

@SwanseaReject I did! 🍀
Crazy to think it’s been over 30 years since @STUALLEN introduced us to Oasis in the snooker room at Ponty Golf Club!

Primary school teacher @robrandel is spot on. Too many children in Wales are functionally illiterate and cannot access the secondary school curriculum because of poor reading skills. In primary, you learn to read. In secondary, you read to learn.

@chsingthedragon @AndyLewis_RE Yes. For the youth mass. He was in the Grandstand rather than the Bob bank

@STUALLEN @AndyLewis_RE He went to Ninian Park too, right?

🇳🇿 "From Term 1 next year, ‘all Kiwi students will learn to read using the structured literacy approach’, by which they mean,I think,to implement phonics teaching in every Kiwi classroom"
🏴 Phonics teaching begins "When appropriate for a learner"

In New Zealand: "The Government has announced that children in their first year of school will undergo phonics checks to help teachers understand their reading progress." 1news.co.nz/2024/07/03/pho…
Why not in Wales, @AddysgEducation @WG_Education?

Challenging and at times uncomfortable, but this is essential listening for anyone involved in education in Wales.
At what point do we have to look at a systemic synthetic phonics rollout? Originally a @UKLabour policy widely recognised to have improved reading in England.

Just had our new Lectionaries for school delivered from India. All for £113 with a Book of the Gospels chucked in. Saved hundreds of pounds. Quality top notch. @AndyLewis_RE @michael_merrick @chr1sCarlisle

Fantastic article in DT! 300 years ago, Catholic church on Warwick street was opened to Catholic Londoners by the Portuguese ambassador who were then at the time forbidden to worship on British soil. @BeardyHowse

NEWS - @WG_Education quietly releases detailed National Test data for literacy & numeracy, and the picture for eFSM pupils is shocking. A 🧵
@AddysgEducation must listen to research evidence & provide better guidance for the teaching of reading in Wales.

@cymru_ed @ImpactWales @WG_Education @AddysgEducation A key factor is early reading instruction. Let's start by getting this right. Will @AddysgEducation and @WG_Education recognise that the first crucial step in solving this is the same as what was announced in Victoria, Australia, yesterday?

Our ambition is to ensure every child from any background can read fluently. Studies show children learning by the phonics method are two years ahead of their peers. We’ll put high quality phonics at heart of teaching children to read. #EducationState theage.com.au/national/victo…

Trying to explain to my non- Catholic friends my utter excitement about having a letter published in the @The_Tablet about saving hundreds of pounds buying new lectionaries from India that Catholic schools will require from Advent 2024 has been somewhat challenging
