I’m not sure I believe there are such things as tried and tested methods.
Compare to behaviour, blanket approaches don’t work, it has to be child-centric/person-centred etc adapted to the needs.
And teachers cannot do that all day long. We need a change in school/curriculum culture 🤷🏻♂️

Also think we place too much pressure on inspiring readers in a school day. A love for reading comes from a series of things like relatable material, ability to read, etc. You can’t do much in an already crammed day. 2/2

So is it practitioner led? Because if you have a person who can inspire a love of books then it doesn’t really matter what system they use 🤷🏻♂️ My old teacher did it purely by the way he told a story.

You’re thinking of toast, Cassie.

Depends on how it is done.
But if we move practice out of it, as a concept, earmarking time in the day to read what you want is a good thing.

You can get it on Amazon. It’s sticky tape, if you pull it around under your knee and round you can feel it holding your muscles. I put it on both ankles, my right knee and a strip under my left thigh every run and it keeps me together- feel the knocks less and the injury recovery less.

Absolutely this!!

Yes! And not all the problems will stay there.
I’m disappointed there’s still the same old constant self-promotion from some people. Old school 🐦 was all about talking to people you didn’t know. I ended up following and was followed by the guy who created crash bandicoot 😂 those were the days!

Yes, absolutely. I think part of me hopes that the leak is deliberate to test the water and if we are all vocal about what has potential and what doesn’t, then maybe we’ll be listened to… no, wait. Got too optimistic again.
