Good point. As you probably know I did a blog about the so called “best in the West”. Subsequently other media sources fact checked. Ofsted and others should be asking about how motivated to read are children in England (clue 42nd out of about 60 in PIRLS)
How can Ofsted be taken seriously when they write guff like this? 1.Uncritically perpetuating the myth of ‘best readers’ without acknowledging significant caveats is naive. 2. Celebration of the performance of ‘disadvantaged’ children again without context is deeply disturbing!

Should a new National Curriculum be non statutory? I explore this in The Conversation.

Perhaps we’ll be celebrating the recommendations for teaching reading and writing by Englands national curriculum review? In any case it is one of the things I’d like to hear from you all about.

The charge that the new government bill is ‘ideological’ coming after the Gove and Gibb era is pretty rich! As are the claims about the successes of this period.
Endless lobbying vs the schools bill, including this in TES by head of New Schools Network, defending the Conservatives' reform record as "transformative". But are schools really in better state than they were in 2010?

Thanks so much! Looking forward to talking to people here and abroad about our work.
Wow! What a book!!!! Thought provoking, refreshing, backed with evidence and certainly a book that everyone in education needs to read! Thank you for the recommendation @HISchoolLibrary 📖📚🧐 #literacyrich #abalancingact #phonics #reading

Let’s hope so. Key moment for this government will be what it changes in ALL key stages.
Perhaps we could learn from this approach?

@charliehacking and I sense change is in the air. 13 years of synthetic phonics may have bought some benefits but teachers are eager to be released to use their professionalism. And thank you Michael, yes we have proposed a new eveidence-based approach.
@RuthHol70318034 @RCNorwich @charliehacking What metric are you using for you to say, 'reading standards have improved'? What do you mean by 'reading'? Have you checked out the latest book by @charliehacking and @Dominic_Wyse ?

So true. @charliehacking and I present our new theory, the research evidence and the practice of using real books in
SSP can be taught without decodables. Teach too many low frequency GPCs. Little Wandle teaches 45 GPCs that account for just 1.60% of phonically regular words in 1,500+ real books. Same with RWInc. Pupils spend too long on decodables instead of reading real books for pleasure.
