Reading comprehension isn’t a strategy or a generic skill. It’s the result of knowledge, vocabulary, and language. Years of “strategy PD” missed this. Excellent piece by @C_Hendrick. carlhendrick.substack.com/p/reading-comp… #KnowledgeMatters #ScienceOfReading
IT’S HERE! The Writing Framework has landed! 🚨 IT’S A BELTER! A powerful blend of explanation and practical advice for teaching writing, both transcription and composition. “The best moments during writing are when pupils are so absorbed in their creations that they lose all sense of time, and when they read what they have written and experience the thrill of creating with words and language.” Explicit instruction, direct deliberate teaching and knowledge pupils need to write with confidence and purpose. It must be TAUGHT not CAUGHT! Writing matters because it cements learning in long term memory. A MUST, MUST read if you want to be a better teacher of writing. A thread 🧵 gov.uk/government/pub…
Check out this updated model of the "Simple Model of Teaching": * initially crafted by @DTWillingham * redrafted by @olicav, * annotated here by @PepsMccrea, @Josh_CPD, and @ollie_lovell Our blogger always says: "don't just DO THIS THING, instead, THINK THIS WAY." This model helps teachers THINK about what to DO.
"Don’t make the students’ independent reading part of your daily classroom schedule. Teach and guide your students so that it becomes part of theirs." #reading #instruction #comprehension #research

Teaching reading requires some knowledge about the alphabetic code, some patience & humor, and a little common sense. No one can, in a tweet, sketch out how to teach rocket science. But I can, in a tweet, sketch how to teach reading. 3/4
This is one of my favourite CPD phonics resources. When you see 'phonics skills and sub-skills' in this format, people may more readily appreciate the phonics skills and sub-skills involved for teaching the alphabetic code and the alphabet - for reading, spelling, handwriting:
It's useful to know which sound/spellings are important enough to teach and which can be learned on an as needed basis. These percentages 👇come from Hanna et al. (1996) research in which the sound/spelling appeared in the 17,000 most frequently used single & multisyllabic words.

All schools should have a policy on reading instruction setting out the rational & evidence for their approach to instruction, assessment and achievement. This excellent template by @PamelaSnow2 @DrKatedeBruin @drlindagraham is ready to use and implement. taylorfrancis.com/chapters/oa-ed…
