Really looking forward to our new Reading Group!
The first paper is a great starting point for us to think about how we define childhood and what it means to be a child, and how this might inform the relationships we build and the ways we work with children in our research.
Hope to see you there!

Such an important message, rooted in taking children seriously, treating them with respect and nurturing their interests. If we want children to become lifelong learners, this is surely the way to go?
📰 Just published: A powerful piece by Yana Manyukhina and @domwyse.bsky.social on why children’s voices should matter more in education.
💬 We don’t just need to educate children. We need to listen to them. Read it here:

Children need more say in their education – here’s why it matters
Children consistently expressed a desire for more choice in their education.

As drive for more Oracy in education continues we ask:
Is oracy for all children—or just some?
Does it value every voice, or exclude those with communication needs?
Celebrate diverse dialects—or center only Standard English?
Oracy must build belonging—not barriers.

I’ve written often about how infants learn language not just with their ears, but with their eyes.
But I’ve rarely run across a better video example than this lovely moment shared to IG by seanandcaitlin.
