During half term, #TDaPE ticked over a very special milestone and I promised @adamjames317 a run down of the top 10 episodes to date. Then the term started…but a promise is a promise. So over the next 10 days we’re going to have a look at what has piqued your interest so far…

#10 Creeping in at number 10 is “8 ways to get the most from talk in the classroom”. A masterclass in deep thinking from @lwilliamsjones and @Suchmo83 with practical advice for all teachers.

#9 It’s no surprise that @gareth_metcalfe makes an appearance in the top 10, as erudite and he is wonderful, this dissection of our use of manipulatives in Upper KS2 w/@Suchmo83 is one for the ages…

#8 @Suchmo83 will be pleased this morning as he gets the 8 slot all to himself. The first reading interview to feature in the top 10…but not the last…

Enjoy “reading comprehension” on #TDaPE

#6 Fresh from a superb session at #rEDBerks, it’s @c_mackechnie and our exploration of phonics and early literacy. Every time I listen to Charlotte, I learn a ton and this chat was no exception 👇

#3 😬 It’s time to begin our ascent of Mt. TDaPE 🏔with the number three entry… @Mr_AlmondED and @Suchmo83 explore “7 ways to improve your teaching of spelling”. So close yet so far. A valiant effort.

Using the 9 of the Top 10 revealed above 👆…

Which episode of #TDaPE do you think has accrued the most listens/downloads so far?

Before we announce the #TDaPE episode with the most downloads, we should note that the margins between most eps are negligible & the list is in constant flux.

We couldn’t have made it to 100,000 without each and every one of the guests, so generous with their time and wisdom…

…nor our listeners, who have supported us with a ferocious level of dedication from the very beginning.

What started as a way to pass some time in lockdown is now a v important part of our lives. I know I speak for Neil, Shan, Lloyd, Matt, Morgs & Chris when I say THANK YOU 🙏

#1 One episode, however, has caught our imagination like no other. A year old next week, it features the 1st appearance of someone I’m proud to call a casual acquaintance. It is, of course, Reading with @Suchmo83
