Earlier this year we did a whole day of coverage about how isolation, masks etc had damaged speech and language. I’m interested to hear if your child or school has benefitted from an intervention called NELI this year which got extra funding https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/education-56889035

It is great to see the brilliant work of @siddle_ho and Any Halsall shared here. You can see how the school thoughtfully engages with research evidence to inform decision-making.

I am a blogger and the proud author of ‘Closing the Reading Gap’, ‘Closing the Writing Gap’, and ‘The Confident Teacher’.

After over fifteen years in the classroom, I now support the cause of education from the other side the school gates. For most of the week I work for an educational charity, supporting teachers and school leaders to access research evidence.

Additionally, I write edubooks and offer consultancy. Also, I am very lucky to have a column for both TES and Teach Secondary magazine.
