This with knobs on... Child centered learning is not a dirty phrase for primary. It is literally the point.

Liz Truss is getting £115,000 a year tax free allowance for the rest of her life, for being the worst, shortest serving PM ever.
It should be revoked she is a disgrace and does not deserve a penny, RT if you agree.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Liz Truss isn’t receiving a 115k per year for the rest of her life.
She is, however eligible to claim the Public Duty Costs Allowance - further information about the PDCA is available here;

“Reading Recovery teachers have to change passive readers into readers who search actively for information in print.” (Clay)

Children with reading difficulties need multicomponent approach - not just 'more of the same' phonics.

Me: Do you like reading?
6yo: I like reading to my mom.
Me: Oh, that’s fun. What do you read to your mom?
6yo: Stories about animals and kids and magic stuff. (Grand gesture overhead making what looks like sparkles with hands)
Me: I love that! What do you read at school? 1/4

This is so useful. Summarises lots of research and shows classroom design has a big impact on attainment.

This is the reality of phonics 'first, fast & only' & DfE Validated SSP programmes! RWInc advice to parents when listening to their child read a RWInc Storybook - children’s energy goes into reading the WORDS, not the story!

Recent reforms of England's initial teacher education institutions "amount to the biggest act of government overreach in England's educational history," writes @viv_ellis in @timeshighered . Worth registering or subscribing to read. timeshighereducation.com/opi…

Thank you Steve @EduResearching . I'm glad you found it readable. I'd like schools with only a few disadvantaged pupils to read it too, please! Outcomes for those pupils often not good.
Read this book by @JeanGrossCBE from cover-to-cover in one go and highly recommend it for educators working in schools with a high proportion of disadvantaged students.
Replete with evidence-informed takeaways and top tips throughout!

Important piece that enlightens many of the flaws with the SoR movement and puts the focus where it should be -- on what we know for sure, not what the media tells us we should know.

Margaret would like to remind the DfE and Ofsted that young children do not need all books to be phonetically decodeable.
Margaret has seen reading schemes come and go.
She's seen initiatives come and go.
The secret of learning to read?
"It starts with a good book, Geoff!"
