A great piece from Lou @OUPPrimary and forms a fundamental part of our work with schools in Scotland in Maths. Is this #oracy and #talkformaths on your plans this year?!
In the summer, I spoke at the @scottishmaths conference hosted by the stunning @StirUni, & was subsequently asked to write about my workshop for the #SMC journal. Pleased to find this on my doormat this week & see it finally in print! @mattdechaine @ChristallaJ @9teaNinePercent

Interesting read, this. We hear 1 in 4 children in Scotland are identified as ASN - Advocating SSP would be a huge step in tackling this. Thoughts @anneglennie ? #scottishschools #phonics
Jamie Oliver has recently been advocating for better teacher training and support for children that struggle with reading and writing.
The RRF has written a letter to respond and offer their support.
