If these figures and graphs are reliable with 'official UK data' (check them out please @ABridgen ), this is really shocking and @RishiSunak must be aware! 'Shocking Data: England Has Suffered ONE MILLION Covid Vaccine Deaths in Just Two Years'

Important clarification: I've heard from Dave Kilpatrick. He states, "... I routinely tell people to use a good phonics program ... I'm for well-informed teachers selecting programs and materials, and absolutely NOT against using programs." Great to hear!

If Dave said to "NOT use programs", I dispute that entirely. Of course programmes need to be evaluated but that is very worrying advice if it is accurately reported.

@Demo2020cracy @ClareCraigPath If real news about the protests around the world were shown on mainstream media, this would be the most enormous eye-opener for masses of ordinary people trying to get on with their lives. Not only about the protests, but about government & corporate censorship and manipulation.

No children should be left to deduce the most complex alphabetic code in the world - why on earth would we leave them to do that? Just because some have managed - to greater or lesser degrees - does not justify not teaching it to all.

Problem is that you can’t tell who must have phonics and who could do fine without it. Teaching it to everyone from beginning protects the largest number of children.

This is a 'must watch' of - @anneglennie - Anne is surely one of the clearest, most succinct, endearing speakers in the world. She has worked SO HARD for years to get evidence-informed reading instruction in Scotland - see the point 1hr 30 mins:

Phonics benefits all children when content-rich and pitched appropriately. Why wouldn't teachers teach systematically the most complex alphabetic code in the world, the skills of decoding and encoding - and building up knowledge of spelling word banks?

Yes, but: as @ehanford discovered, what works for most kids diagnosed as dyslexic--systematic phonics--would also prevent reading problems for most "garden variety" poor readers. We shouldn't reserve phonics for kids labeled dyslexic. It benefits most kids & doesn't hurt any.

I notice that tweets featuring reading instruction invariably reference academic literature and models but more rarely (barely at all) feature practicalities of lesson content and details of delivery. It’s the practical stuff that teaches the children though.

@AbbyJohnson @coccaloca I began to write that ‘women should abandon the olympics’ but actually everyone should - men and women standing together in protest to this mockery of women.

The Phonics International programme is DfE validated and is now entirely 'free'. If nothing else, consider investing some time to take a look at what is provided and reflect on why the 'core' resources and practices raise the likelihood of success:

Many people refer to the teaching of phonics as 'time limited' and this has largely led to the idea that phonics is 'baby stuff' - a perception by adults and children alike. I disagree. Phonics is a lifelong application of alphabetic code knowledge and 'adult stuff'.

To this day, two particular 10 yr old children haunt me that were in my care when I was a new teacher. Because they couldn't read, I thought it was because they could not be taught to read. I now know very differently. I know I could have taught them to read.

“In the case of reading instruction, if I am going to ask my fellow teachers to bravely (and critically) look at their own instructional practices and make necessary shifts, I need to name my own mistakes and misunderstandings in this area .” This. Is. A. Must. Read.

Watch what happens to honest people doing their jobs responsibly. Multiply this experience by how many I wonder. We may never know the full truth, but we certainly have a clear indication of immorality and corruption. And thankfully indications of some people with integrity.

@beverleyturner But isn't it already happening here - being scaled up? When I first put my head above the parapet it was when discussion about vaccinating children began. I was shot down in flames and told that this would not happen in the UK. I noted the censorship -peers denied it. Now look.
