Extremely interesting read re: comprehension
Reading comp is not a skill someone learns & then apply in different reading contexts. It is one of the most complex activities that we engage in on a regular basis, & our ability to comprehend is dependent upon a wide range of knowledge & skills@CattsHugh

Great @LitdriveUK Trust Lead Forum this evening. So many things to go away and reflect upon at the end of a busy first half-term in a Trust leadership role. Special thanks to @greeborunner @s_donarski for running the session and sharing their experiences and expertise.

One of the best things I've read and this adaptation looks stupendously good.
The smallest decisions reveal the biggest truths. Academy Award Winner Cillian Murphy stars in #SmallThingsLikeThese - in theaters November 8.

Incredible post from @FunkyPedagogy which summarises the challenges of reading and stresses how VITAL it is for individuals, schools, families, communities... The message? That nothing trumps reading in terms of education and that we need to get real, get serious and get going!

Horrific, mindless destruction. I'm going to run a CPD session in the first week of September and will donate all proceeds to the rebuild effort for Spellow Lane Library Hub. Please share with English teachers - £5 per ticket. https://t.co/2ZkZEeR1Zv
Liverpool's Spellow Lane library torched last night. What could be more 'patriotic' than destroying a centre which serves the local community?

And so my AQA GCSE English Language/Literature reimmersion begins in preparation for September. Now if someone could just come round with a sort of Edexcel neuralyzer that would be most welcome! #ao3onwhichquestionnow

It's been an honour Mr Gibson!
Final letter to parents, an amazing 6 years but looking forward to the next challenge. #TeamMaidenErlegh is in safe hands with Mr Jump.

Very excited to have a cover for my new book! I think its chilled, decisive and serene vibes offset the writing experience nicely ❄️📘❄️

Is anyone able to recommend a decent bilingual dictionary for a Farsi speaker new to English? Ideally one with some context for words. I have found a '1:1' dictionary suitable for exams but nothing with more detail... #teamenglish
