Josie Mingay's blog 'Literacy SENse'

Post by Debbie_Hepplewhite »

Josie Mingay is a secondary teacher with a huge interest in literacy and special needs.

Josie provided a very popular talk at the March 2015 Reading Reform Foundation conference and writes about her thoughts here:

Illiteracy: What are we going to do about it?

While I have been aware of the benefits of using a structured approach to reading for a long time, it has made me more sure than ever that this is the most targetted, reliable, efficient and, without wishing to go overboard, moral way to teach reading.
Josie was also an invited speaker to the researchEd conference (November 2015) with a secondary sector emphasis and the theme of 'literacy'.

Josie's talk was entitled:

Vocabulary Matters
