Urgh! I wonder if the DfE has exercised enough theory of mind to consider how an autistic/alexithymic KS2 child who is (subconsciously) masking to get through the day is supposed to meaningfully answer a q about the effect of a text on the reader 🫠

Teachers: Please, we need more training! How do we support the growing quantity and complexity of needs in a single classroom with limited adult support and resource, while also extending others?
DfE: have you tried giving children keywords to include in their answers?

Poems on ToastAttie Lime, illustrated by Emily FordTroika Books Probably most suitable for KS2 readers is Attie Lime’s latest collection of poetry. Her focus is childhood experiences and although the majority of the poems are upbeat, others embrace more serious subjects, including sadness. This is something she presents sensitively, particularly in Nan:‘Full to the brim with smiles / she knew how to / turn a day on its head, / discover silver streamers in the grey sky, / find golden treasure in the long, wet grass.’ Beautiful that.
