A rare kind of study in education: a ten year follow-up of the long-term effects of Reading Recovery shows that the benefits are large, and the programme is highly-cost effective (£1 spent has a societal benefit of over £3): bit.ly/2Uo0K3e.

Teachers supporting teachers @CamdenSouthPS wellbeing week. #soupday @nikki_reedie

Camden South PS hosted a debate today against The Oaks PS. Well done to both teams who gave much to consider in debating that screen time should be limited to one hour a day. Supportive staff growing articulate and confident students!

“Children are made readers on the laps of their parents.” Emilie Buchwald. We cannot close the gap for children who arrive at school without oral language and early literacy experiences - we can only narrow it!

Good bye and good luck Mr Hooke. We will miss you @sjhooke @CamdenSouthPS

So much fun in 2 B today doing a STEM challenge. Children being challenged and working together collaboratively. Thanks @katiegblackburn for the invite.

@katiegblackburn Such valuable conversations. Thank you for sharing, I really wanted to know what they bought!

Devastating decision!! twitter.com/bec_collins88/…

The evidence used by England to impose the teaching of synthetic phonics on to their students is flawed. And Australia is blindly following England. Because? The LNP Govt is taking advice on the teaching of reading from conservative think tanks bit.ly/AAREBrooks #AARE2017

What a very sad day. Last official day of Reading Recovery training ever! So confused about why someone would get rid of such an amazing program. #longlivereadingrecovery
