@tiffharris.bsky.social gets the #ASCLLiteracy and Oracy Conference underway.

@marcrowland73.bsky.social shares different ways to support disadvantaged and vulnerable learners with #literacy and #oracy and its importance in helping to unlock success and improve outcomes for all pupils.

A warm welcome to all attending today's #ASCLLiteracy and Oracy Conference in #Birmingham.

We'll be focusing on how we can improve outcomes for all children and young people, particularly those who struggle with reading and literacy due to barriers beyond their control.

“The habit is the important bit of it.” Professor Teresa Cremin CBE, being inspirational about reading and its importance and relevance. Super keynote at the @ascl-uk.bsky.social Literacy and Oracy Conference at The British Library. #ASCLLiteracy

Great to see local colleagues at the @ascl-uk.bsky.social Literacy and Oracy Conference sharing the importance of collaboration. #ASCLLiteracy

Always hugely thought provoking to hear Marc Rowland with @ascl-uk.bsky.social and consider the challenges shared by of so many children and young people. 2026 is The National Year of Reading. #ASCLLiteracy

#ASCLLiteracy - a project in Nth Warwickshire brings together different schools, phases and trusts to place #literacy and oracy at the heart of transition from Y6-7 to help improve outcomes for learners.

In the #NationalYearofReading we're really pleased to be at the British Library for today's #ASCLLiteracy & Oracy Conference. We'll be exploring our theme of 'Empowering every voice through literacy' and the different ways to unlock and support reading and oracy in education settings and at home.

It's the #NationalYearofReading in 2026, and we're delighted that the #ASCLLiteracy and Oracy Conference will return in January, with our theme this year 'Empowering every voice through literacy'.
