So, over the last few months my crochet hook and small projects have kept me sane and busy. I've enjoyed making bits and pieces for friends and us. If you'd like a make from me, I'll be open to commission slots. DM me 😊 @educrochet #crochetEd

I've spent the last few years working with hundreds of schools, enough to spot some patterns and (I hope) to write some useful threads over the coming months. Here's the first one... In my opinion, what do primary schools commonly get wrong with their reading lessons? πŸͺ‘
