Read on TwitterNaturally thoughts are turning to September. Teachers are thinking of the best use of their time, of things they can prep. I understand this, but please, stop. Pause. Use this time to re-read about child development. To remind yourself..
.. About Maslow, about how children learn. If you are going to reach reception read about pre-school summer term, if Y1 learn about reception summer term, Y2 - Y1 summer term, please. Because any head teacher worth their salt will be asking you to teach what has been missed....
.. I feel so very strongly about this. Yes if you are new to Y1 read, about phonics but only after you have read phase 1 letters and sounds, after you have read about all of the skills needed 1st, about Scarboroughs reading rope, please remember the importannce of embedding..
.. Real concrete experiences, explorations in maths and remember before children can read or write a senor a story, they need to talk. And they will need to talk they will have lots to say. They will need to get to know you. This will be transition like no other....
#thereisnorush I will keep banging on about this. I am an EY teacher in Y1 giving my class what is developmentally appropriate. It works. Please @PaulGarvey4 @deputygrocott @annaephgrave @thepetitioner @Keep_EYs_Unique @Dr_Pam_Jarvis @helenjwc can I have a re-tweet...
... Please can we get #thereisnorush trending? To give all practicitions the confidence and the belief that slower is better
