Whole Books or Excerpts? Which Does the Most to Promote Reading Ability? shanahanonliteracy.com/blog/whole-boo…
I want to believe reading full texts is clearly superior to reading extracts, but @ReadingShanahan explains we have no evidence for this claim and why it likely isn’t the case. Full texts *and* extracts, with lots of quality talk & writing for the win.

I've been thinking about what teachers mean when they say, "I want kids to love reading," or "I want kids to 'be readers.'" Because they mean a very specific, culturally-constructed type of love that looks a certain way. It looks like a mirror of these teachers. (1/9)
This last quote! I hear this all of the time. The problem is teachers who say this think students need to want to read for pleasure like they do. Not all people "love" to read, and that's ok. People read in the real world for multiple purposes and not necessarily bc they love it.
The idea that novice learners learn best- or at all- from inquiry is one of the most ubiquitous and damaging ideas in education. It’s astonishing how a sector that literally specialises in teaching and learning can get it so dramatically wrong when it comes to the instruction…
Comment during a PD: “We need to get away from I do, you do, we do and move to inquiry.”
The formula that best helps us understand how to develop skill is this: knowledge + practice = skill. Anything that looks like a skill is composed of knowledge. Skill emerges through the practice of applying that knowledge. open.substack.com/pub/daviddidau…
5/ While many subjects are skill-heavy, Science is knowledge-heavy. The pupils who achieve are those who can recall the most information. The best practical skills in the world won't save a student who cannot recall the fundamental laws and definitions required by the exam.
An English degree does not merely involve reading poetry and fiction. It involves studying history, religion, philosophy, sociology, psychology. Which was why for many years it was the most popular (and also most difficult) subject to get in to read.
Before students can do any thinking, they need something to think about. Fill them with knowledge as a priority, especially so in literacy. Knowledge of the world around them and component knowledge of the language. Knowledge is the Bedrock of Literacy 👇 Link in 1st comment 👇
