@Suchmo83 Bought! Can't wait to read your invaluable words of wisdom 🎉

My new book, Primary Reading Simplified, is released this Monday (27th January). Briefly, I'd like to explain why it exists, who I think will find it useful and where you can find it. >>

Hello - I wrote a new blog about the teaching of whole class reading, which I haven't in a while. It's over 9000 words so quite a read, but I hope the comprehensive nature of it comes across as helpful, rather than patronising. Anyway - hope it's useful! mrboothy6.wordpress.com/2025/01/03/who…

@Suchmo83 Thanks - this is a great, really useful post 😎.

People who are interested in reading instruction tend to eventually find themselves wanting learn more about language more generally and it's study (i.e. linguistics). Here are a few really accessible books that I recommend on this subject. 🪡🧵

@primaryteachew Hi Emily, your transition materials look fantastic. I would be very grateful if you could share - THANK YOU 😊

Year 7 Transition Pack: This pack is sent to secondary so there is an element of pupil voice. The children love doing it, and the schools I’ve passed it to have found it useful, too!

@TheStudentLeads I would feel exactly the same!! RIDICULOUS!!!

Stumbled over this on FB and didn’t know whether to laugh or cry 😳😬 What’s the most ridiculous thing that you’ve ever been pulled up for?

Thanks to everyone who has supported me so far! They money we raise get's sent to Dementia UK every week, so we're already making a difference. They do incredible work. justgiving.com/page/jill-thom… #JustGiving

@PaulGarvey4 @simonkidwell @Ofstednews @martyneoliver Absolutely 100% this!!

@simonkidwell This is exactly what many of us are hearing Simon, week after week. What are @Ofstednews doing?? Why can’t they train their lead inspectors to inspect humanely? This is clearly deliberate policy and is instilled from the attitude of senior staff on training. @martyneoliver?

🧵Ofsted Thread: Recently three Headteacher colleagues I know well have been inspected. 1/9

@MrB_online Yes.... quite a sticky habit to change 🤔

All of this 👇

@MrBoothY6 They look like a great routine starter activity Ashley. Thanks for so generously sharing 😎

I should say I can only confidently talk about how sentence construction is improving because I also taught this class from Easter of last academic year.

I've been using these as my 'do now' for English for a week now and have these observations: 1. Children are getting much faster at spotting mistakes and at constructing sentences. This task takes circa 7 mins atm. 2. The 7 mins is worth it as sentence construction is improving
