Our spineless maggot of a Prime Minister @AlboMP and the shitstain he laughably calls a government can find $317 million dollars to investigate Ben Roberts Smith while at the same time cutting the $2500 per annum travel allowance to the parents of another Australian Victoria Cross recipient. Shame.

If you've read Primary Reading Simplified and found it useful, it would mean a lot to me if you would consider taking 60 seconds to add a rating or review at the place where you bought it. It's a little thing that makes a huge difference. Retweets are also much appreciated.

About to jump on a flight to Chicago to speak at The Reading League Summit.
Excited to head over and learn from others, and hopefully share the Oz experience!

So proud of all that has led to the DoE filming & interviewing my ferociously warm boss @belinda_bristol, myself and our brilliant teacher ⭐️ Karlie to demonstrate all things explicit for illustrations of practice. Thank you @training247au & all schools SoLA.

What an exciting day being interviewed on camera while our incredible teachers were captured in action, showcasing their expertise in explicit instruction.
Watching our teachers inspire, engage, and empower our students makes me so proud. @kezza12031

Love the explicit steps shown by @JustinCaban_ from @training247au that are systematically built up for all Ss to experience success in writing narratives. Importance of accuracy over quantity. Won the raffle for a subscription to their platform & iPad too. 👏 @SharingBestPrac

Just happened to hear @1053NEWFM advertise an Irlen Syndrome clinic. What a shame this pseudoscience is being promoted to vulnerable parents. They mentioned in the ad that it is @NDIS funded too. Unbelievable. Find out more @RANZCOeyedoctor
