I'm not having Fraser Nelson playing dumb on the rise of racism on the right after years spent printing Murray, Liddle, Taki and Shriver. I literally had a DM row with him years ago where I said this would happen.

I strongly suspect that the approach to reading lessons that Ashley describes in this blog is significantly more effective and more engaging than the approaches currently used in the vast majority of English schools. Well worth a read.

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.

I share a lot of books…especially picturebooks. Here are 15 picturebooks I’m most excited about between now and Christmas. Brilliant authors, amazing illustrators and some wonderfully creative stories. #PictureBookPage

Love blogs like this! Super practical and focused on a high leverage aspect of teaching - the importance of addressing when the ‘abstract has not been made concrete’. Thank you for sharing, @jdurran.bsky.social

Can we teach children to think critically? There’s lots of opinions given on the subject so I went in search of a systematic review. This one, a meta-analysis by Abrami et al (2015) looked interesting: www.researchgate.net/publication/...
