'Reading in Secondary Students: What do we know?'
This research report from @Literacy_Trust by Prof Ricketts, Dr Clark & I Picton is a synthesis of 'key findings on reading in secondary schools'.
It's an important read & powerful piece of advocacy. 1

Here's a ppt with 27 short audiobooks (15 mins-1.5 hours) available on YouTube (my focus is Y9 but some for younger students too). Thank you to many on edu-Twitter who helped collate this! Let me know if you have more ideas, especially with diverse voices. bit.ly/3NIgETd

I tried @MrsRCliffe good / best / better paragraph idea this week, and it has been transformational. Thank you so much for the inspiration. I'm going to use this for Q4 next.

Has anyone completed a disciplinary literacy audit across subjects? What did this look like for you? Staff audit done but would like to see where individual subject areas currently are 📚 #disciplinaryliteracy @LiteracyNetwor1 @LiteracyCommUK

I really like this idea from @MrRobHistory! I’m going to try it with some of my students in English for the literature texts. Great to see how one idea can be utilised across different subjects. Thanks, Derrick! @Team_English1

Yayyy! The multiple choice helps a lot of students to then use the word correctly in context. Hopefully it works well 🤞

Good ideas = good writing. A simple truth. Supporting this development in class is essential. This article also explores the role of AI and oracy. @LinGoram1

Delighted to hear @ricketts_lara challenging the 'word gap' discourse & arguing that we should know abt the rich language sts bring to the classroom & use it to 'enrich' the learning that is happening. She's brill on the transition 'jump' too.
