What do good library lessons look like in your school? Do you have library schemes of work? A curriculum, even? How does a Y7 library lesson differ from a Y9 one? @WorldLibrarian1 Lucas Maxwell King Edward VII School Libraries Sheffield @LibraryPower2 SRGLIBRARY Laura The Librarian Elizabeth Hutchinson @MrsR_Librarian

Any schools out there who just do things 'differently'? Looking for 'blue-sky thinking' ideas that go beyond the traditional in terms of curriculum models/ student experience and approaching literacy in particular. 21stC education- what does/ could this look like?

Can anyone explain to me how the digital World Book Day tokens work? Do schools get a unique code or is it the same for everyone? I've read the information and scanned the QR code but it just takes me round in circles! Can we get copies of the books in advance? World Book Day UK πŸ“š

Next year we will have a dedicated reading lesson on the TT for Y7. It will also be used to cover personal dev/ PSHE themes. Does anyone already do something similar? Any practical tips/ advice/links/ resources appreciated! Thanks! Team English PSHE Association

Looking for articles/ research pertaining to the transition between 'learning to read' and 'reading to learn'. Where should I look in particular? Eternally grateful for any help/ advice! Thanks! 😊

What do all you wonderful librarians and Secondary Literacy Leads do to positively engage parents? Do you ever share data? Thinking this could be a double-edged sword... all ideas / comments appreciated! Alice Visser-Furay Lucas Maxwell High Five Literacy

Quick question, if I may? What advice would you give to teachers who have students in their class who want to read aloud to their peers, even though they are not yet fluent in reading for their age? Alex Quigley Alice Visser-Furay Christopher Such

This is going to be such an amazing collective force! A great first meeting. Excited to learn from others and to contribute too! Thanks Jennifer Webb

I'm looking for engaging, YA fiction titles that deal with PSHE style topics. Must be appropriate for Y8 and be something unlikely to have been read at Primary school. Please hit me with your suggestions! TIA! πŸ“š Alice Visser-Furay School Library Association (SLA) Lucas Maxwell TheLiteracyCommunity Laura The Librarian

Please can I ask what you would consider 'best practice' in supporting students with dyslexia at Secondary school- both on a class-teacher and whole school level? General pedagogy and/ or intervention strategies? Articles/ links welcome. TIA! TheLiteracyCommunity

Thanks to @DamsonEd and TheLiteracyCommunity for an insightful session yesterday around reading tests and comprehension. I'd love to know what info schools share with parents following a reading test such as NGRT. Do you send home SAS scores? Stanines? RA? Pls explain your reasons...
