We love to say we’re building a ‘love of reading’. The evidence suggests we’re doing no such thing. Pleasure doesn’t lead to fluent reading; fluency makes pleasure possible. Reading for pleasure should be an outcome, not a curricular aim. Trying to teach enjoyment is missing the point.

Let’s put the text back at the heart of our literature teaching. Get rid of ‘context’ sheets, generalised info docs about a time period, YouTube videos summarising the plot and - instead - teach using the text. Nothing else. Time to immerse our students into fictional worlds…

So great to see Oracy so strongly on the education agenda again! Tragic that the value of talk was so downgraded for so many years! This will mean so much to 1000s & 1000s of young people!
The view from here: great fun speaking at #Lab24 this morning about the emerging findings of the @oracycommission. We’ll publish our report in a fortnight. Meanwhile thanks to all for a brilliant, rich fringe conversation today.
Such a pleasure to be part of the important conversation

Looking good in orange, @Xris32 and @watercart! Congratulations; it’s an absolutely phenomenal book and I am so excited for people to see the wonderful resource you have created! @SPryke2 @JohnCattEd @Team_English1
Interesting thread 🙏 thanks for sharing all!
We’re reviewing our approach to KS3 assessment and I’m looking for inspiration. If anyone has cracked this, let me know!
@teacherhead - am I right in thinking you were collating approaches in the same way you did for curriculum models? Did you get enough to do some analysis?
Utterly. Utterly. Disgusting.
