One of the things that keeps me going back to Twitter is that I get fairly regular DMs on there asking me for advice about reading.

Just to be clear: I am more than happy for people to DM on here for the same reason.

Please repost this if you think this info might be useful to someone.

Big news!

Reach Academy Feltham, a very special all-through school, is recruiting for a new co-headteacher to lead the secondary phases.

The outgoing co-head, Beck Owen, joined as a founding teacher & leaves the school in a very strong position.

Share!

Following a few requests from teachers and school leaders, I've made a short video on the key ideas that I think teachers (and parents/carers) need to know about reading development, based on my reading concept map.

The language used in these articles is bizarre. So passive. www.independent.co.uk/sport/olympi...

Imagine “President Kennedy died milliseconds after being hit by a bullet that moments earlier had been in a gun held by Lee Harvey Oswald.”
Olympian Rebecca Cheptegei dies days after being doused in petrol and set on fire

Just posted new blog on Bluesky and not (yet) on Twitter. Be interesting to see engagement. Will I fold and put it on Twitter too? Please help me avoid the temptation by reposting here!

Just been reading about BlueSky’s background and feel really optimistic about a new wave of social media comms. No AI algorithms & more individual control and openness. So far, it embodies its name 😊
