Here's a ppt with 27 short audiobooks (15 mins-1.5 hours) available on YouTube (my focus is Y9 but some for younger students too). Thank you to many on edu-Twitter who helped collate this! Let me know if you have more ideas, especially with diverse voices.

@OpenUni_RfP @Team_English1 @SchoolLibLN @LiteracyNetwor1 @lucasjmaxwell @AVisserFuray Please see below… Any advice to get the potentially lost/misplaced books back where they belong 🤞🙏
School librarians… How do you get the overdue books back? What are your action plans? We have tried: ✔️house points to return them ✔️contacting home, emails and phone calls ✔️no more books until they’re all back ❌we don’t issue fines @uksla @CrookedQuillUK @NlandSLS

I tried @MrsRCliffe good / best / better paragraph idea this week, and it has been transformational. Thank you so much for the inspiration. I'm going to use this for Q4 next.

A great thread about fluency 📖
Reading fluency can be described as the bridge between decoding and comprehension (EEF, 2022). It’s a vital part of students reading AND understanding well. But what could that look like in the classroom? Here’s what we do at TAL for fluency interventions: A thread 🧵

Has anyone completed a disciplinary literacy audit across subjects? What did this look like for you? Staff audit done but would like to see where individual subject areas currently are 📚 #disciplinaryliteracy @LiteracyNetwor1 @LiteracyCommUK

I really like this idea from @MrRobHistory! I’m going to try it with some of my students in English for the literature texts. Great to see how one idea can be utilised across different subjects. Thanks, Derrick! @Team_English1
By far the best task I have for retrieval practice. Love the effort the pupils put in

Good ideas = good writing. A simple truth. Supporting this development in class is essential. This article also explores the role of AI and oracy. @LinGoram1

Delighted to hear @ricketts_lara challenging the 'word gap' discourse & arguing that we should know abt the rich language sts bring to the classroom & use it to 'enrich' the learning that is happening. She's brill on the transition 'jump' too. @LiteracyCommUK @LiteracyNetwor1
Today @RealGeoffBarton talks to @ricketts_lara about the link between oracy and reading, the importance of vocabulary knowledge and tailoring approaches to developing oracy and reading to different Key Stages
