📘 Cawley et al. argue there are significant gaps & inconsistencies in the national curriculum guidance on the teaching of #spelling, which in turn leads to a lack of teacher confidence in spelling tuition and non-optimal teaching strategies. 🔗 doi.org/10.1080/0013... @jelliclecat.bsky.social

The background image is ‘SPELLING’ written using cubes on an orange background. This is overlaid with the ‘Educational Review’ journal title at the top. In the middle is the article title and author name(s): ‘“It’s just about printing the list, getting children to copy them”: some teachers’ experiences of the Key Stage 2 national curriculum for spelling in English primary schools’ by Kathryn Cawley, Sarah Critten, Helen L. Breadmore & Julia M. Carroll. The words “Open Access” appear in a red circle.

"If, from an early age, we make children’s educational 'careers' too contingent on individual performance, then that exacerbates the importance of performing well and avoiding failure, which, in turn, drives anxiety." Really enjoyed speaking to researcher Reinhard Pekrun for this piece.

I was thinking specifically about children with neurodevelopmental difficulties rather than discipline issues but I appreciate it is a difficult line to tread. Not trying to blame schools, I was just thinking that it is easier to put in place behavioural adjustments than different teaching.

Julia Carroll @jelliclecat.bsky.social · 15/05/2025

In my experience the emotional/behavioural stuff can often be addressed relatively straightforwardly if schools are willing to be responsive and flexible. It does take staff time though, so is expensive (hence why seeking EHCP is on the rise).

200

Julia Carroll @jelliclecat.bsky.social · 15/05/2025

Yes I agree, to an extent. Parents need to know that getting a diagnosis is not a magic bullet and that schools put a lot of things in place to support different needs without diagnosis. However in practice, particularly in secondary, support is more consistent when there is a diagnosis linked to it
