Really useful resource here to weave reading into the curriculum.
This 👉🏻 “It's uncontroversial-
uncontested - that reading fluency is a key component in students' wider
learning capacitv and confidence and yet it is actually possible for some students to go through a school day
or week without doing very much reading at all.” @teacherhead
