Marc Hayes @marchayes.bsky.social · 30/11/2024If 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 130

Marc Hayes @marchayes.bsky.social · 26/08/2024I’m sure there’ll be many who will continue to let their children have smartphones. Personally, I don’t think it’s necessary or that helpful for primary aged children to have access to them: they are a gateway to a lot of apps which which aren’t designed for children or keeping them safe 100
