New classroom, new reading nook! 📚 While setting it up, I noted what I have found makes a great reading space in case anyone out there is looking for any inspiration!

When I first started sharing resources I’d created, I always hoped they might help staff and children beyond my own school. Hearing they’re helping others improve students’ writing has truly made my day! Never underestimate how much that can lift someone! ✍️💫
@teachersparkly Just to let you know these are sooo helpful. Spent a whole hour today with Year 8 taking some great improvements to their writing. Thanks again.

After hearing the idea to ask these Qs at the start of the year from @RachelPiXL at a conference last year, I’m definitely going to do this again this year. It gave me really valuable insights straight away to what the children and parents wanted out of the new school year.

Labelling drawers with words and images is such a simple way to build inclusivity in the primary classroom. Helping to build independence and support all learners. Link to the pdf which includes these labels in the comments 🖍️✂️📚

Designed this poster to help remind myself and classes in my school of what we need to do to be ready to write!

I never appreciated the importance of these basic shapes until I really focused in on how to help children with their handwriting. It really broadened my thinking when I realised it was more than just copying, as tracing & matching helps too!

Nothing says ‘new school year prep’ like battling the sticky Velcro graveyard left on the whiteboard 😂✨. From grimy disaster ➡️ spotless shine… armed with a sponge, half the cleaning aisle and enough patience to rival a saint. 🧽🫧💪

In my mission to help children improve their writing without schools spending a fortune, I’ve developed these editing & proofreading mnemonics to include an animal rhyme for each letter. This will make the process more engaging for younger learners! 🐾✍️

The Writing Framework refers to ‘Revising’ & ‘Editing’ but I’ve found these confuse children in reality. I use ‘Editing’ & ‘Proofreading’ instead with mnemonics (inc. a handwriting check). It’s worked well and I even wrote a blog on it if you want more info. #EduTwitter ✏️📚

Love that the Writing Framework values the writing process but I’ve adapted it to also include purpose, audience & text type. It’s made a big difference for the children I work with! Sharing my version here 👇📝 #PrimaryEd

Here’s my latest blog introducing the Writing Framework which I hope could be useful to anyone else trying to get their head around it. The infographic summary is also in the comments. #WritingFramework #edutwitter

As this was released very recently, I’ve been trying to look into the key messages that are in this document and the implications for me both as a classroom teacher and Literacy Lead, so that I can…

Something that may help writing for the up and coming Summer ☀️ Term! Hope everyone has a positive first day back whenever that is.
Sharing the editing and proofreading strategy I’ve developed to help children with this part of the writing process. Hoping the EDIT 👂🏻 and SPECS 👓 mnemonics can support anyone looking to make greater impact in this area. https://t.co/fgV6QmkuVF
