My son (Y6) has just told me that on Thursday afternoons they do Biscuit Assessments where they try a different biscuit each week and write about the taste, texture and appearance and this just feels like God-level teaching after endless weeks of SATs prep and tests 😄😄

I've spent the last few years working with hundreds of schools, enough to spot some patterns and (I hope) to write some useful threads over the coming months. Here's the first one... In my opinion, what do primary schools commonly get wrong with their reading lessons? 🪡

Great post explaining why reading progression docs do not work. I would go even further - progression docs don't work in other subjects either. I first wrote about this in 2013 when I thought the removal of levels would get rid of this approach! (🧵) daisychristodoulou.com/2013/…

The adverb problem - Daisy Christodoulou

In a previous blog I looked at how hard it is to set exams based on criteria. I quoted Tim Oates: The first issue is the slippery nature of standards. Even a well-crafted statement of what you need...

Young people who are loved at home come to school to learn; those who are not, come to school to be loved, and they ask for this in unconventional and sometimes challenging ways. Every time I share that insight with staff in school it’s met with wholesome agreement.

Note to self: you have been paid today. Yes - it is 9 days early - you’ve been paid early this month - as you are every December. This is your money to live off until January 31st. It is not, I repeat, not a “Christmas Holiday Allowance” to be spent on cheese and mulled drinks.

‘Stories are “stickier” and more memorable vehicles than non-fiction texts for the tricky information we need pupils to learn,’ explains @AlexJQuigley as he sets out how it works in practice tes.com/magazine/teaching-le… tes.com/magazine/teaching-le…

How ‘sticky’ stories can help your pupils to learn

Narrative stories can help pupils to commit information to memory, says Alex Quigley, but teachers need to carefully plan the ‘how’, ‘what’ and ‘when’ of using them

We've had the reading wars, now we enter the writing wars. As @educationgovuk looks to shape how writing is taught in primary, @Helen_Amass reviews the evidence about which way works best tes.com/magazine/teaching-le… tes.com/magazine/teaching-le…
