It’s great that schools are focusing on dyslexia but there are other lesser-known literacy and language difficulties that often 'get missed’, explains world-leading expert Maggie Snowling in our latest @tes Q&A

@SoVeryBritish The north/south divide is easy to discern. Travel south until chappies start selling Pukka pie. You are in the south. Or travel north until chippies sell Hollands pies. You are in the north.
Excellent to see SSD under the spotlight to support early intervention and improve longer term outcomes for children’s emotional well-being. “improvement in speech may lead to a reduction in the negative sequelae seen in older childhood and adolescence”

Having waded through the good the bad and the ugly of the UK school system with my two eldest girls, I despair for my 7 year old & what the future holds for all our young people who deserve much better. Something has to change. @educationgovuk#cantnotwont#consentbasededucation

It's not just poets who are horrified at Ofqual's decision to make poetry an optional GCSE subject. Anything that reduces children's experience of the imaginative power of linguistic play is a mortal sin against language and literacy.
The 'sn' in 'sneeze' is a historical hiccup. The original word was 'fnese', but someone in the Middle Ages mistook the f for the old form of s, ſ. Fneezing would be a much better sound match.
