After the Lesson | Whose words?
A child chose to write about Ronaldinho. Look at what emerged.
A dictated sentence might have produced greater accuracy. But would it have revealed as much about this young writer?
Teach the skills. Keep the child the author.

The Comprehension Problem: Media Edition open.substack.com/pub/paulth…

Sweden is a cautionary tale for Scottish education.
After years of pushing digital-first learning and replacing textbooks with screens, the government is now spending millions to bring real books back into classrooms.
Not because technology is evil, but because overuse of screens weakened reading, focus and deep learning.
Foundational skills need paper, books and explicit teaching. Digital tools should support learning, not replace it.

The percentage of children who enjoy reading is at its lowest in 20 years. For many, this declines as they grow older.
We want to understand why, and what can be done to change this 📚

Our research, supported by @twinklresources, shows that the reading for pleasure crisis persists.
When fewer than 1 in 3 children enjoy reading and daily reading habits decline - it’s time for urgent, collective action.
