📅Day 21: Early intervention matters - Areas like Bolton and Wigan help disadvantaged pupils ‘catch up’ from large age-5 gaps to below-national gaps by 11. Few areas achieve this by age 16, showing how early intervention is critical to prevent disadvantaged pupils falling behind.

@JeanGrossCBE It is remarkably similar overall, but they also have 'starter packs.' Which are lists of people in one community. There are several for Education. I have heard it's better not to delete your Twitter account, as after a period others can start using it.

Haven't looked at Twitter/X for a few days and the suggested post for me to look at is from Nigel Farage. I don't think that encourages me to come back here often.

Inferring word meaning from texts is more difficult for children with DLD. This (further) highlights the importance of early identification of #DevLangDis - left unsupported, such difficulties with listening/reading comprehension will impact on educational outcomes.

Hard saying goodbye to Twitter,, but it's best days are gone. Spending more time on BlueSky now. It will take time to build, but the engagement is far greater. If you're on BlueSky, say hello, I'm @WordAware there too.

@EducEndowFoundn @UnityResSch I like the idea of tethering oral language to other activities. It shouldn't be an add on. One thng to add. As much as I love vocabulary, we need a broader view in schools. It needs to include sentences and narrative also.

"Having him in the Royal Society seemed such a contradiction of all the values of the Royal Society. And I didn’t really want to have anything to do with it.” Huge respect for Prof Dorothy Bishop, given Musk's promotion of vaccine conspiracy theories. theguardian.com/technology/202…
