If I've ever taken the time to reply to a request from you for advice on here (or the other place) - and you have read Primary Reading Simplified - please consider *reposting* this post and giving the book a quick rating (or even a review) from where you bought it.

Sure, there's still lots of nonsense out there, but my opinion is that we are living in an education golden age. Exciting and evidence based approaches to T&L, groundbreaking resourcing, innovative approaches to CPD. What more could you want?

We are blessed.

"A Real Pain" is soooo good. A perfect little film. Beautifully written. Wonderfully cast. Kieran Culkin is as good as he always is. Loved it.

Say what you like about Friends Reunited - at least you didn't have to be fretting about whether you were funding an attempt to build a new Reich.

As I've argued Britain is unusually good at integration and it's something we should be proud of, while acknowledging where there is still work to do.
Telegraph (Fraser Nelson)

"Our immigrant population has almost doubled while our crime rate has halved....we seem to have attracted immigrants who, by and large, are prone to integrate and strengthen the social fabric."

Communication of pupil-level strategies is a fundamental part of the SENDCO role and is an essential part of a whole-school approach. So what is the way forward, in terms of individualised strategies, so that all children can thrive?

Recently discovered the @schoolsweek.bsky.social podcast. Superb! Two that I’ve enjoyed so far:
1) This interview with Bridget Phillipson and @fcdwhittaker.bsky.social is really thoughtful and interesting. I particularly enjoyed the sections on teacher recruitment and SEND.

One of the things that keeps me going back to Twitter is that I get fairly regular DMs on there asking me for advice about reading.

Just to be clear: I am more than happy for people to DM on here for the same reason.

Please repost this if you think this info might be useful to someone.
