Making tutor time impactful: you are what you repeatedly do.
I wanted to share two of the straightforward school improvement projects we have initiated since Easter at Skegness | @DRETnews. They are ambitious in intent for young people’s education & fairly easy to implement.
They are #DRETreads and Prep. Both of these take place in form time; Prep in morning form, #DRETreads in afternoon form.
Firstly, #DRETreads is an idea from @educurious2015. It is about increasing students' reading time. Each day in @DRETnews secondaries our tutor groups are >>
>>read to for 20 minutes. We had a careful process to select texts & we are rotating them around schools in the trust to share our joy & ideas!
We snipped 5mins off lesson periods & were able to create P6 afternoon tutor. Teachers had advance copies of the book. >>

I’m excited by our big push on reading @lodgeparkacad for the Summer term. Building on the groundwork we’ve put in place for 2 years now, we’re putting reading FRONT & CENTRE 🤩

Here’s how👇

(warning: long thread, probs should have done a blog 😂)
1. The groundwork; being diligently laid since Feb 2019...

✅ Created a culture of reading for purpose & pleasure
✅ Teachers read daily
✅ Reading age tested for all
✅ 30 mins silent reading per day
✅ Big push on our chosen reading scheme
✅ High profile praise & rewards
2. We’re channeling additional covid funding into reading, in particular supporting early readers to decode and become fluent.

Using the expertise of @cherb94teaching, we’re using @RuthMiskinEdu to teach phonics to those who need it most - in all year groups.
