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.

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.
