🙏 Please take a couple of minutes to watch this & support by voting for @TeenageCancer.
My friend @BlundellCarolyn lost her daughter Lulu (19) to cancer a year ago. In the video she reads some of Lulu’s words - which are certainly worth us all listening to 💙
Please share 😊

A fabulous guide to expert phonics teaching by @MorgsEd Now…the lack of phonics expertise in secondary. That’s a whole new minefield which will simultaneously combust in, I reckon, 2 years. It’s coming…
