100% agree-about time we focused on teaching students to read and making students read across the curriculum and forget the ‘love of reading’ nonsense. We can’t make people love things-had this annoying argument 3x with Ofsted!

Thank you for clarifying-I think in terms of the recommendations I don’t think that’s the problem with the current GCSEs.

I love your resources but it would be much better if the articles had the option as a PPT/slide to display instead of just PDF.

Do we not do that already?

Yes please

How is the study and development of spoken language in English not oracy? Voice 21 defines oracy as is the ability to articulate ideas, develop understanding and engage with others through spoken language. Genuinely interested in what you mean?

I hope oracy is looked at in English as part of the new curriculum review as the GCSE spoken language endorsement is not fit for purpose
