If you were to add more reading time into a primary timetable, what would this look like? Independent reading? Listening to a teacher read? Following along to a teacher reading? A mixture? I'm curious as to which might have the most impact for children who need more reading miles #edusky

Jean Mandler in her pretty wonderful paper Stories, Scripts and Scenes: Aspects of Schema Theory, talks in quite some detail how the structure of schemas is vertical (and hierarchical) while that of mental models (action, in time, sequential) is horizontal.
