Great thread on supporting secondary students with reading challenges:
🧵 1. Saying secondary students with a low reading age need a ‘phonics only’ programme is like saying that if your car isn’t going well it must need more petrol. Phonics is necessary for reading – period – but it’s not sufficient, just as a car needs more than fuel to run.

Private practice tips for employees, managers & owners:
Yet more reasons to thank each other more at work:
Being appreciated doesn't just make you feel good. It helps you get stronger.
Evidence: receiving gratitude improves cardiovascular stress responses, boosting resilience and performance by turning threats into challenges.
Being thanked fortifies our bodies along with our bonds.

A growing literature base supports the inclusion of #sociolinguistic methods, but there remains a disconnect between the literature & clinical application -- one that current researchers & practitioners have an opportunity to address. https://s@SIGPerspectives

So excited to share this paper on supporting adjective learning in children with DLD. I learned so much from the team (@Cat_Davies@nicoll_hilary@kristensyrett@SarahWhiteSLT@CeciZunigaM).
Adjectives may now be my new passion!
