A Cardiff school told me around 77% of pupils arrived with reading ages below their actual age.
Yet the inspection reports I examined for the primary schools which feed it raised no concerns about reading.
I asked the new Education Minister Anna Brychan how that could happen.

Today's Impact Podcast is a topic I hear everywhere I go, how to help pupils sustain their attention. How to help your class keep going when the task challenge is high, the reward is not immediate or they find it repetitive or boring: open.spotify.com/episode/1bj…

I regularly see teachers being advised that feedback should be "timely". Does anyone know what this means?

This makes me really sad. There are things going well in both sectors, things that need improving in both sectors. We absolutely need to highlight and work on areas to improve but this is unfair reporting for our secondary colleagues. @WalesOnline

When I became Education Minister 12 months ago, little did I know I’d be stepping into a half-century-long policy debate about how we teach our kids the basics of reading.
The reading wars are not quite over, but they should be.

Getting the teaching of early reading right in schools in Wales is about mental health & social justice, not just attainment @AddysgEducation
Students who learn to read at secondary school almost invariably comment on how much more confident and calm they feel.

Following the @RhysWilliamsTV investigation into reading in Wales, it finally feels like @AddysgEducation and @WG_Education are listening. Can't believe we recorded this over 3 years ago, @ImpactWales... maybe @lynne_neagle will listen now?
