Hope you are doing well xx

It is so wrong to judge universally and not take into account the context and place.

A lovely stone to use as a wee worry stone too. Hope all going well.

Thank you. We agree on much. I was indeed know as the “phonics queen” but the lack of understanding how to teach reading does worry me. We do need effective teaching.

There will be tears ahead.

Having taught hundreds of children to read it is important to remember there are many approaches required. Whilst phonics is the core , teachers need to cater for the child not a single approach. How about teachers need a depth of knowledge of reading acquisition? A couple of lectures is not enough.

Thank you so much 😘

Yes please

What a lovely post. Just what I needed this afternoon. I am trying to bring the first draft of my thesis together and have had three really positive days however today has been full of doubt. Thank you for this supportive view.

Only picked the good times to get out. Rain pretty bad.
