And as the standards expected of pupils become ever higher, so the need for all those who work with them to ensure their own literacy skills are regularly reviewed and refreshed is increasingly important. There was a time when asking children to practice their multiplication or complete a worksheet headed Life in the 60’s might pass largely unnoticed in the classroom; now, if everyone is doing their job properly, you’re as likely to be called out on such crimes against the English language by Jacob in Y5 as by the staffroom’s resident pedant (you know who we mean).

So, whilst this issue of Teach Reading & Writing offers plenty of features designed to help you hone your GaPS expertise alongside your pupils’ and thus avoid falling foul of Skitt’s law (and has naturally been proofed to within an inch of it’s life* in the hope that we can do likewise) it is also full of ideas to help you engage and inspire learners, and celebrate literacy in all its glorious diversity together, across the curriculum and every day.
