Just read this excellent, research-led doc on reading in Secondary. Clear, practical, rooted in the SVoR, vocab, background know. & disciplinary literacy. Lovely to see how much it aligns with what we champion in Early Years & Primary. Real sense of continuity. Useful for CPD & cross-phase work! 👏
After 2+ years, many rewrites & piloting, I am so pleased that this has been published! A free, online training programme for non-specialist secondary practitioners about the development of reading. Includes practical strategies that can be adapted for any classroom. 1/2

My PhD student @nataliakika.bsky.social is still looking to recruit parents of teens aged 12-18 years to take part in a 1-hour online interview about looking for mental health information online. These findings will inform intervention development, so we need to close recruitment asap! 🙌

This book looks fantastic, can't wait:
Honoured to have had an early read of this incredibly important book and be quoted on the cover.
It’s a comprehensive exploration of representation in British children’s literature and the industry around it. It’s important and vital for anyone working in or with children’s books. /1
