Such an inspiring session. Phonics is not a discrete activity. If we’re not reading for meaning, we’re not reading at all. Pictures can elevate the meaning beyond words on the page. Phonics is important…language is important too. Love that the double helix starts with the child!

Thank you @AMatczuk for helping us to consider writing in terms of composing, recording and reading. The importance of the conversation can’t be underestimated. We have to remember that many children have never learned how to have a conversation.

Really interesting session. Lots of food for thought around writing in terms of transcription, composition and writing pedagogy. Are teachers viewing conversations around writing as language learning opportunities? Are they more focussed on transcription or composition?

Replying to @BarbaraBleiman
Effective schools teach comprehension from the start alongside decoding. Phonics is necessary to reading but on its own it is insufficient.

Reading is about so much more than just decoding words on a page. Revisiting the reading rope helps us remember that ‘reading science stretches far beyond teaching how to read words, providing evidence for ways to teach children how to comprehend as well’ (Kambach & Mesmer, 2024)

Parent testimonials highlight the positive impact of Reading Recovery, from their children's reading and writing skills to motivation, engagement and sense of self-efficacy. This aligns with research on the effects of Reading Recovery on motivation. ies.ed.gov/ncee/WWC/study/90…

Word study analyses how words work. Explicit teaching demonstrates the natural breaks in words, highlighting morphology and orthography. Magnetic letters are a fantastic resource to enable children to break and make words. Applying this word knowledge to continuous text is key.

Great enthusiasm from our storytelling teachers as they learned the Freedom Bird story this evening! It was great to hear about the positive impact that storytelling is having on their learners.
