My poetry workshop at LATE London Teachers 📚✏️ today is FULLY BOOKED! Wow. People love poetry. Who knew?! 😂

Reading aloud is *so* important! As well as being read to by my parents as a kid, which I loved, I had amazing teachers at Poynton High School who read aloud in English classes and showed us how important it is as a way of learning about texts 👌 1/2

Closing keynote from Kauthar Proposch: ‘My Reading Journey’, with bonus Buraanbur Somali poetry performance! 👍

Starting them young! Some of our youngest members reflecting on their learning today. 🤍

Eng chat I wasn’t at Lit Drive but the week before I was at LATE London Teachers 📚✏️ and I took away a lot! I think one of my main ones was the emotional connection that reading texts aloud can create which also aids memory. I also thought oral story telling and it’s links to writing was important
