I was surprised at how long this Alberta model has been in place when we are so far removed from this approach in most schools. Although I suppose many schools have operated their own versions and I have just been criticising our system for trying to shoehorn everyone into a one size fits all.

@Elizabeth A whole school reading culture is just that - the whole school needs to engage not just the library

@Elizabeth I don’t think we should criticise anyone’s choice of reading, whether that’s aspirational or a comfort read. Enjoyment is crucially important.

We do tell students that reading is vital to every subject as they have to be able to read for every subject eg have to be able to read a maths question to be able to answer it, so yes, in academic terms it is vital. Using your elbows in the dinner queue may also be useful!

@Elizabeth Sorry Elizabeth, I haven’t read yet which I know is shocking. But I know my youngest son is inclined to believe news posted without checking and that’s despite my constant nagging and I know he is not alone and many young people will do the same so it is an important topic.

@Annie @Elizabeth I think teachers are much better now at sharing resources and crediting one another. I thank Twitter for that. Interesting to see the amount of material being shared online at the moment in case of closure of schools. Perhaps we should link Creative Commons to that.

@Elizabeth In SLS I used to visit loads of primary schools during the Summer term to encourage pupils to take part in the Summer Reading Challenge. I lost count of the times teachers would call upon Ryan from Y6 to get the laptop and powerpoint working for me. But yes, that is different from having chosen which medium to deliver a message.

@Elizabeth I think more educators are saying that the term Digital Native is a myth so the message may get across.
