@suchmo83.bsky.social Just finished - found it a really helpful guide to evaluate our current practice & journey to date. I'll be using key chapters & building in the discussion questions in staff meetings. It's very accessible & I am sure will impact teacher development & children's progress! ❤️🙏

What’s fluency and why is it important? Should you use extracts or full texts? How do you approach a class discussion about a book? Hear @suchmo83.bsky.social’s wise insights on these questions and many more, and share with anyone who cares about getting kids reading. youtu.be/DyrGjl-U2Xc?...

This section from @suchmo83.bsky.social’s book on crafting a reading curriculum has a wonderful little nugget on using extracts to boost breadth in the wider curriculum, even if there isn’t space to teach a topic in full. Listen to the podcast for dozens more insights.

My copy of Primary Reading Simplified by @suchmo83.bsky.social only arrived a few hours ago. I've already read quite a chunk and it's every bit as good as I hoped it would be. A book that needs to be in all primary schools. Superbly written, clear, practical and thought-provoking. Essential.

Received “Primary Reading Simplified” today by @suchmo83.bsky.social! At first glance- it’s a practical, teacher-friendly resource! I appreciate the PD questions at the end of each chapter—perfect for PLCs and team collaboration. Excited to dive deeper! #edusky

Apparently @cmckinnellmp.bsky.social thinks it's "insulting" to say that the new Ofsted proposals are confusing, because "parents want to understand what's going on" and need a "broader picture of school life". So why not just use narrative reports like school leaders have repeatedly argued for?
