I would also really like to see 'thereadingape' making a mention of the work and content of IFERI in their excellent, continuing blog posts. The quality of the research cited and the clarity of the arguments certainly chime with what IFERI believes in. The situation with both IoE at UCL and RR conti...

It is a great blog post by Rob who seems to be the pioneer in Wales for the need for real change for the CfW in terms of reading based on the science of reading. Rob's voice is certain to become increasingly important. Young learners need this level of professional advocacy for effective reading ins...

This has been such a revelation for me to read both Mark's blog and videos that he has posted on his blog. I deeply agree with Mark's stated belief that there are angry parents out there who are voters, tax payers and they are realising that they need to mobilise to advocate for change. And this cha...

An incredible list. Brilliant resource for everyone concerned.

I find this to be a common statistical trend when new programmes are put in place. The stalling is extremely frustrating for all concerned as I am always convinced that the teachers on the ground do not want stalling to take place and are always aiming fro as many pupils to succeed as possible.

Is there a ...

I really liked and agree with your wish that: ' hopefully other countries will follow this example of valuing the teaching of foundational literacy - well - for every child regardless of background .' It is also my sincere hope and is the focus for a lot of the initial work I am trying to do to broa...

I agree with you Debbie and, in my experience as a teacher and teacher leader for 25 years, nearly all teachers had no time at all to be able to engage with any level of current reading research and, if they did, what was researchable was indeed very confusing. I have now moved into the Higher Ed wo...

Thank you Debbie, the links are particularly useful to keep the current situation in a historical context. I do wonder how the English Hubs are working out in practice. Are there criteria that they (and those who are part of them) are being judged by? Are you seeing a coalescence around improved SSP...

The information provided by Five from Five is an absolute delight. There is so much research evidenced material, guidance and professional support and development here for teachers and teacher leaders the world over to use and work from. Brilliant.
