We had a brilliant presentation by ERA @LondonLATE yearly planning meeting yesterday! Planning to collaborate across the year and invite them to a conference. Would love to know what #TeamEnglish think of the grammar resources lit archives
I wasnβt at Lit Drive but the week before I was at @LondonLATE and I took away a lot! I think one of my main ones was the emotional connection that reading texts aloud can create which also aids memory. I also thought oral story telling and itβs links to writing was important
@mtptproject @LondonLATE mine and @pinklisa_marie βs children warmly welcomed today during the key note and workshops (as well as being the focus of her wonderful and thought provoking workshop!) and @galiamelon βs brilliant closing poetry reading
Reading aloud is *so* important! As well as being read to by my parents as a kid, which I loved, I had amazing teachers at @PoyntonHigh who read aloud in English classes and showed us how important it is as a way of learning about texts π 1/2
The pleasure of being read aloud to, worries about βjust readingβ to classes, the emotional impact of reading aloud and being read to, reading aloud to check for mistakes & fully understand texts oral poetry traditions across the world #teamenglish
Just been to a wonderful workshop @londonLATE exploring the variety of ways primary classrooms βdoβ reading. Phonics being a small part- guided reading, listening to stories, telling and retelling, drawing and playing. Phonics is there and useful but part of a wider culture
