I heard him talk about this on one of the @Literacy_Trust #ReconstructingReading sessions. It was genuinely fascinating.

A huge thank you to @Literacy_Trust for their fantastic #ReconstructingReading online sessions this week. I caught up with a couple more this afternoon. The quality has been exceptional. @GalwayMr @ReadingShanahan @eLearnMissKelly @literacytutor5 @ReadOxford

It was an absolute pleasure to be part of this panel. #ReconstructingReading has been a professionally rich, carefully curated week from the National @Literacy_Trust , and it has genuinely deepened my thinking. With so many insightful sessions brought together so thoughtfully, I’m excited to see what next year’s #NationalYearofReading2026 has in store for us all. @educationgovuk @FocusTrust1

@ReadingShanahan closed #ReconstructingReading with a look to writing - and how reading informs good writers. A forward-looking conclusion to a week of insights from the forefront of literacy research - that have truly reconstructed reading in the classroom. 📚

And that’s a wrap on #ReconstructingReading! What. A. Week. ♥️

I LOVED @ReadingShanahan's session on Reading & Writing this afternoon in a #ReconstructingReading webinar. His research, examples & justifications chime so much with all the work we do at EMC & my own thinking & practice around the vital relationship between reading & writing. 1
