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.

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.

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 😊
