Claire Sleath Miss Wilson Christopher Such The Literacy Company #WritingRocks✍️😍☺️ writingrocks.bsky.social James Walker Scott Evans | The Reader Teacher® Great work Claire,

I've spent time today updating my #ReadingForPleasure Padlet with some new bits and pieces (articles, ideas for staff meetings, teaching resources, book recommendations for assemblies, etc). Hopefully it's of use to people. All shares appreciated! padlet.com/Jon_Biddle/rea…

Here are some #library lesson activities to last until the end of the summer term, I hope they are useful: glenthornelrc.blogspot.com/2024/04/5-new-… #librarian #libraries #booksworthreading #edutwitter #teacher #teachertwitter #teamenglish

I’ve created a new Padlet page sharing KS2 writing models and lesson ideas. This explores how to describe sea monsters and create suspense in children’s writing. Please share with fellow educators 👩‍🏫 padlet.com/pagetopen/page… #lessonplans #ks2teacher #edux

Y5 mystery/suspense using ‘Darkest Dark’ Chlo’s writing units they shared have been super helpful in upping my English planning game! @DetailDetects1 has changed how I use picture books! Claire Sleath is a wealth of knowledge and the padlet was 🤩in planning this unit!

Year 5 child who is not usually a ‘reader’ just came up and told me, ‘this is the best book I’ve ever read’. Thank you Claire Sleath for bringing it to my attention. I’ll be using it for writing later in the term 🤩

So thrilled to hear this! I can’t wait to see which writing has been inspired by it!

I love this villain description! How terrifying! Struan Murray
