Haven't posted in such a long time! I've found that my Year 11s have knowledge of 'main characters' of texts but are rusty on other characters. This booklet helps them to engage with these characters and their function in the text. Also have one for Macbeth 🥰 #AQAEngLit

The confidence levels of the Year 11s after this morning's Lit Paper 1 is what we love to see! 😍

Due to all the love (thank you!) and high request for my character profile resources, I've uploaded to Dropbox for access: dropbox.com/scl/fo/r2kyabpa4…

Alarm has been set. Let's do this! #backtowork

New teacher planner for September ❤️ Trying out the #busyteachersclub new 'Teacher Planner of Dreams' to help me keep on track of my day, my priorities, and my mental health 🥰

Has anyone had any success in creating a literacy or SPAG marking policy that doesn't involve coded marking? Just curious about some approaches 🥰 @Team_English1

Got accepted to work for my school's Trust as part of their Reading Leaders Team 🥰🥳🤭 So excited to start this new role and adventure!!!!

Does imposter syndrome ever go away? 😶 Always feeling like I'm not adequate enough for promotions or celebration even though I have people tell me that I am. 😶😶

Advice needed. At my school, we have identified spelling as an issue. Are there any top tips or impactful strategies to help develop the accuracy of spellings in a secondary/high school setting? @Team_English1

Thanks to all who replied on this thread! I should have maybe mentioned it was for a Year 9 scheme but who doesn't love some personal reading recommendations? 😂 Really appreciate it. What a wonderful example of EduTwitter working their magic once again ❤️

Really loving creating these reading digests. A perfect way to share important work we've been doing, recommendations and tips for parents 🥰 #reading

A focus on parental inclusion with reading this year and one strategy is that I've created a reading newsletter to send out every half-term! Looking forward to developing this as the year goes on. Top tips also welcome! ❤️ @LiteracyNetwor1 #reading

Really enjoying the exploration of 'Thinking Aloud' to help with disciplinary reading within English. I've found the students have engaged so much more and even started to offer their own thinking processes as we annotate 🥰 #thinkaloud #disciplinaryliteracy #teamenglish

I've really enjoyed picking apart the reports from the June 2022 papers this year 😍 Here's what I identified for Lang Paper 2 for anyone who's interested 🤷🏼‍♀️😂 #TeamEnglish #EduTwitter

So that nervousness I felt about my literacy session was replaced by joy and elation when all staff were so engaged in disciplinary reading strategies today 😍😍😍😍

Delivering a whole school session on disciplinary reading and the 'think aloud' strategy tomorrow and I am soooooo nervous!! 🙈😱 #disciplinaryliteracy #literacy

Yesterday @m_yeomans & I went through the exam report for Shakespeare and unpacked what that meant for our development and adaptation for teaching top sets this year and I honestly loved it! Having time to discuss ideas and reflect together on subject knowledge is so underrated!

For the first time in 5 years I've gone with a different Teacher Planner and I LOVE it 😍😍😍

Effective and successful reading programmes for Secondary Schools? Preferably for Year 9 onwards. Phonics, decoding and comprehension as target areas. @Team_English1 @AVisserFuray @LauraCurranBun

What's your top tips for teaching 'Transactional Writing' for students who are aiming to achieve grades 7-9? @Team_English1 😊
