Always a good day when surrounded by the sight and smell of new books! Getting excited for our Graduation event next week for Wave 3 and 4 schools!

YES! And the scientific research continues to confirm the importance of fluency for proficient reading - both accuracy/automaticity in word recogniton AND prosody/expressive oral (and silent) reading.

Thank you to all those who attended our final CPD event of the year this afternoon - exploring reading beyond KS1. On the same day as the release of the updated gov.uk/government/pub… What great timing!

Have you read this book? '10 Dogs' by #EmilyGravett We absolutely love this energetic caper about dogs, sausages and all the fun in between. This is a great book to enjoy and helps with those pesky number bonds in a woof-tastic way. Macmillan Children's Books Two Hoots

We’re delighted to be at the first National Literacy Specialist Conference as a whole team! Looking forward to hearing from HMI Kirsty Godfrey and Teresa Cremin. #englishhub #literacyspecialistconference #westgarthenglishhub #Reading

Two great points to remember highlighted by HMI Kirsty Godfrey when developing reading and writing for ALL pupils. Ofsted #EnglishHub

⚠️Reading enjoyment has fallen across all ages.⚠️ The sharpest decline is among pupils aged 11-14 - from 40.4% in 2023 to 30.7% in 2024. As children transition to secondary school, their reading engagement dips - a trend that is worsening. Learn more: literacytrust.org.uk/research-servi…

Huge Congratulations to West View Primary School becoming a Champion School for Little Wandle. Amazing recognition of all your hard work and continued dedication to reading!
