Paul Allen

@PrimaryEnglish @ianaddison Thanks for this - we’ve added some new books to our existing banded library system and wondering where we should put them. Any tips gratefully received! Thanks

@pwallen1985 @ianaddison Book banding is a system for graded readers (reading schemes). Consequently well-known trade books are not routinely book banded.

Are there any online resources out there that will tell you the book band colour of well known books?!

@focuseducation1 No probs at all - sorry to be a pain! Thanks for providing a free update in light of the changes to the framework 👍🏻

@pwallen1985 I've just emailed it directly to you Paul. Sorry about the messing about. If you visit MY LIBRARY on the website the updated one should be there. But just in case, I've emailed it you

DELIGHTED TO SAY - IT HAS BEEN DONE AND HAS BEEN SENT TO ALL PREVIOUS PURCHASES. CHECK YOUR INBOX (OR SPAM FOLDER) If you haven't bought this, find out more here and download a free SEF template focus-education.co.uk/products/creat…

@focuseducation1 Sorry the one I’ve got says revised Feb 2025…

@pwallen1985 Brilliant 😊

@focuseducation1 I’ve got it - thanks so much. Great service - thank you! 🙌🏻

@pwallen1985 We’ve just sent it again. Fingers crossed it gets to you. Can you let us know if not and we can email it directly.

@focuseducation1 Thank you - I’ve checked junk but it’s not there.

@pwallen1985 It’s been sent to everyone today but we’ll check and resend now. Can you also check your junk folder too as they do sometimes end up there

@TeacherToolkit @MrWaldram

I could write a thesis on how rich the short video clip really is; I used to dream 15 years ago of teachers across England sharing brilliant teaching in short vignettes. Thank you Pritesh 👏🏼

@MrWaldram Are you finally getting round to writing ‘How to be a great teacher/leader without writing a blog about it?’ I hope so!

Right people, it's been a while... What is the best platform to get a blog out there? Used to use Wordpress but is this still the best way? Substack? Are blogs even a thing anymore? Go...

@iLearn2Primary Sure

@pwallen1985 Can you DM me Paul?

Hi @iLearn2Primary we’ve noticed some of the links in the Year 1 units go to sites that need other subscriptions e.g. ABCYa. Any advice on how to access?

@SingUpTweets Hi Sing Up - is there a progression map that goes alongside your scheme of work? We’re using the units but a progression map would be fab
