We learn more from reading on paper than on screens. 54 studies, 171k people: we process print more deeply than digital content—as long as it's informational rather than purely narrative. The paper advantage holds across ages and has grown over time. Long live physical books.

🌟What is the point of Banquo?🌟 Well, I think it’s Fleance! And some other things! Some ideas I have been thinking about to frame this character, and to use in revision. Rather long🧵!!

It's time to talk about teaching motifs @Team_English1 , and why I think they are the most high-leverage methods for ALL students. This comes from an examiner's perspective as well as looking at essays from my own students who have done well. A thread rather than a blog 🧵1/-

🌟Creative writing: sentence models🌟 Resources in the 🧵 I've been doing lots of sentence work. Last term, I tried to write with students every lesson, just trying to build writing muscles and expose them to lots of models Inspired by @ChrisYoules His book is fab! 1/11

Hello @Alex_Mac_1623! 🧵on how we use MCQs in English (with some hopefully useful examples!) 1/x
Replying to @Mr_Raichura
Assume this is used across the whole school? Do you have any English colleagues that would be happy to show/share how they use it?

The new EEF science report talks about ‘polysemous’ words: those with both an everyday meaning and a different or more specific scientific meaning. I think these are an issue in maths too? Any examples of ones that cause you and your pupils issues?
