This is probably the most important book that any primary teacher or leader will read. I know that’s a big statement & I don’t make it lightly. There is nothing more important than getting every child reading fluently. This book provides a clear framework to make that happen.

My new book, Primary Reading Simplified, is released this Monday. Briefly, I'd like to explain why it exists, who I think will find it useful and where you can find it. >>

Hello - I wrote a new blog about the teaching of whole class reading, which I haven't in a while. It's over 9000 words so quite a read, but I hope the comprehensive nature of it comes across as helpful, rather than patronising. Anyway - hope it's useful! mrboothy6.wordpress.com/2025/01/03/w...

Teaching pupils with #ACEs can raise a lot of questions and reflection on how best to ensure retention of knowledge when cognitive behaviour can otherwise make this difficult. In my time, predominantly influenced by @katejonesteach.bsky.social I've discovered a few things seem to work well. 👇
