"There is surely no lower educational expectation than believing a child has nothing to say for themselves. That they are empty – devoid of any thoughts, knowledge, ideas or experiences that readers would feel worth hearing about." 👇

“This book looks to present what is presently known about the science of writing. Our understanding of how young writers develop is becoming more complete all the time. We know that writing is something that is both personal and intensely social, both cognitive and emotive…”

I've never really understood why other subjects should dictate what the next class book is. Books should be selected because they'll make the children gasp, laugh, cry, think and empathise, not because there's some heavily contrived link to Squirrels & Submarines. #Edutwitter

If you teach children to write by copying they will come to believe that they can only write if there is a model to copy.

A question I am regularly asked about reading lessons is this:
How can we write learning objectives for lessons without a clear focus on a specific 'comprehension skill'?
My answer? Don't bother.

It was a privilege to hear @learning_gee & the other teachers talk about how they’ve developed RfP in their classrooms - supported by @maryroseg in their OU/UKLA
@ELFDubai @OpenUni_RfP @TeresaCremin @kashleyenglish we’ll have some cracking EOPs to read from them!
Yesterday was a true career highlight! It was an absolute pleasure to speak at the @ELFDubai 'Reading for Pleasure' conference. To speak alongside @debbiet99313391, @HISchoolLibrary , teachers from @OpenUni_RfP and my colleague @Y2MissSarah was truly inspiring!

A big challenge was making the Metacognitive Cycle accessible to my Sts. I created a St friendly version via a Metacognitive Handbook with an iterative cycle. Please RT if you would like a copy @RonBergerEL @EducEndowFoundn @teacherhead @dylanwiliam @EvidenceInEdu @XpatEducator

I’ve been thinking about an underappreciated element of professional development.
In general, CPD is provided through inset, staff meetings and department meetings and this is great
Through engaging with new ideas and research I am likely to improve my practice.
However...

Please don't leave class storytime to videos and audiobooks. My pupils evolve after every book we share together. Relationships changed, ideas put forward, friendships built, opinions challenged, empathy developed, discussions had. It builds a class like nothing else.

Interesting that this extract on the need for relaxed social interaction has been quoted the most 👇👇👇@tes
This is superb by @TeresaCremin whose work on the teaching of reading & writing is second to none. I'd happily quote everything she says but this (below) is so important. If only Ofsted paid more attention to genuine experts like her & important research like this!

This thread explores the role of mentor authors & texts in shaping young writers. As Smith notes, writers learn by immersing themselves in the works of their heroes across various genres. 📚💡👇 /1

A wonderful Saturday afternoon out with fellow teachers from the Dubai @OpenUni_RfP group at @EmiratesLitFest hearing the incredible @McgoughRoger and @afharrold 📚 Listening to their poetry was magical. Hearing the children’s laughter in the audience was also pretty special too!
