KS2 Teacher

Been thinking (and reading) a lot about writing and what works. I think it comes down to modelling. Model as a reader, model the thought process of a writer, model editing and changing parts. If you don’t model then how will they learn? #writing

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…

Just a reminder that if a book has an RRP of £7.99 or less, we can provide a class set for your class: £159 for 30 £90 for 15 Free delivery in both instances. THE easiest way to get a set of books in your class's hands and improve reading. anewchapterbooksonline@gmail.com

Was meaning to blog this but was getting distracted so a rare🧵: I see 100s of lessons and teachers and it’s clear to me the best teaching appears fluid and artful but is always built on sound techniques deployed with purpose; intentionality; precision.. /n
