After the Lesson | Whose words? A child chose to write about Ronaldinho. Look at what emerged. A dictated sentence might have produced greater accuracy. But would it have revealed as much about this young writer? Teach the skills. Keep the child the author.

Sweden is a cautionary tale for Scottish education. After years of pushing digital-first learning and replacing textbooks with screens, the government is now spending millions to bring real books back into classrooms. Not because technology is evil, but because overuse of screens weakened reading, focus and deep learning. Foundational skills need paper, books and explicit teaching. Digital tools should support learning, not replace it.

The percentage of children who enjoy reading is at its lowest in 20 years. For many, this declines as they grow older. We want to understand why, and what can be done to change this 📚 Follow our inquiry and share your views with us 👉 committees.parliament.uk/com…

Edumyths abound in #schools & #teaching, but how do we know what is debunked & what is simply disputed? Andrew Jones warns that while #teachers must challenge bad ideas, we must also embrace legitimate disagreement over classroom approaches buff.ly/Yv1VOG1 #education

Our research, supported by @twinklresources, shows that the reading for pleasure crisis persists. When fewer than 1 in 3 children enjoy reading and daily reading habits decline - it’s time for urgent, collective action. Let's #GrowAGenerationOfReaders: literacytrust.org.uk/reading…
Infographic by the National Literacy Trust showing two statistics about children's reading habits in 2025. Left side with dark blue background: Just 32.7% of children and young people aged 8 to 18 say they enjoy reading "very much" or "quite a lot" in 2025. Right side with light pink background: 'Only 18.7% of children and young people say they read something daily in their free time in 2025 – half the number reading daily 20 years ago.' Bottom includes the National Literacy Trust logo with the slogan Change your story and the hashtag Grow A Generation Of Readers.

The reading enjoyment crisis is hitting boys hardest – especially those aged 14 to 16. And this year, the gender gap widened to 6.2 percentage points. We can't afford to leave any child behind. Share some of the ways you engage boys with reading in the thread below ⤵️
Bar chart titled 'Who enjoys reading in 2025?' using data from the National Literacy Trust. It compares the percentage of boys and girls who enjoy reading across four age groups. For ages 8–11: 40.0% of boys and 54.2% of girls; ages 11–14: 23.7% of boys and 34.9% of girls; ages 14–16: 18.8% of boys and 37.7% of girls; ages 16–18: 29.7% of boys and 50.5% of girls.
