School libraries matter! And these children are living proof. ⬇️ Chancellor @RachelReevesMP announced yesterday that the government will ensure every state primary school in England will have a library by the end of this parliament. Apply for funding: librariesforprimaries.org.uk/schools?fbclid…

From 2016–2021, I led English in a 3-form entry school with 98% EAL 🌍. Seeing how fluency strategies boost progress stayed with me. Now it’s The Fluency Factory ✨ — the UK’s first week-by-week fluency lessons (Y2–Y6). ❤️ 👀 thefluencyfactory.co.uk
📝NEW BLOG POST: I've just created a fluency scheme for primary schools — so yes, the irony isn’t lost on me! 😅But packaging should never come before pedagogy. Here’s my latest blog👉: thefluencyfactory.co.uk/post/sold-a-sc…

📊 Why is reading fluency landing on Year 6 teachers? 👇 Uptake dips in Years 3–5, then spikes in Year 6. Are we leaving earlier years under-supported? Shouldn’t fluency run from Year 2 all the way through? #PrimaryEd #ReadingFluency #EdChat #SATs

I've been challenged to completely rethink Reading Fluency. After looking into what @ReadingShanahan really says about reading fluency, here's how every teacher can efficiently implement it in their classroom this year🧵👇
Big news! 2026 has officially been announced as the National Year of Reading by @bphillipsonMP. We’re proud to join @educationgovuk to lead this national campaign to get the UK reading again. #NationalYearOfReading2026 nationalyearofreading.org.uk

📖 We analysed hundreds of Ofsted reports. 🕵️♂️ The verdict? Phonics is strong—but fluency is the next big focus. 👨🏫 Ofsted, EEF & DfE all say decoding isn’t enough. thefluencyfactory.co.uk/post/what-are-… Read the key takeaways & what schools should do next: #ReadingFluency #EduTwitter #Ofsted
🚨 NEW: July’s Monthly Fluency Fix is here! This issue features: 📚 Tim Shanahan 🎥 Classroom Clips 🔍 Ofsted on fluency ☀️ Summer Reading Challenge …and more! 📰 Read: thefluencyfactory.co.uk/so/c9PUzVAgw 📩 Sign up: thefluencyfactory.co.uk/#signup #ReadingFluency #EduTwitter #LiteracyMatters
What’s Ofsted saying about reading fluency? 🧐 After reading 100s of reports, it’s clear: ✅ Fluency is finally on the radar. As phonics improves, inspectors are shifting from decoding ➡️ fluency. We’ve built a practical scheme for schools: 👉 thefluencyfactory.co.uk
