Looking Ahead to the National Year of Reading

As the school year draws to a close, it’s the perfect moment to pause, reflect, and celebrate a renewed national focus on literacy. With the release of the Writing Framework (see my previous blog linked below) and the upcoming National Year of Reading in 2026, the message is clear: literacy matters for everyone.

For those of us working across SEND, inclusion, and adaptive teaching, this is a powerful moment. It reinforces what we’ve always known: literacy isn’t just a subject, it’s the foundation for thinking, connecting, creating, and thriving.

What’s Ahead?

I’m excited to share what’s coming next:

  • A brand new website with free resources, blogs, and booking options

  • Discovery calls opening soon for 2025–26 CPD planning

  • My new book co authored with Claire Harrison Writing for All filled with practical strategies, case studies, and tools

  • Free resource packs, including the Inclusive Reading & Writing Toolkits

  • New Crick AT guide

  • New inclusive project with Scholastic publishers

  • The release of our 1 in 10 funded training focused on raising support for dyslexia in schools, co authored with Dr Helen Ross

  • The release of our new inclusive literacy framework (ProFile) in collaboration with Teach Us Too, Michelle Hill Nexus and myself

  • New updated training, key note talks and CPD menu (in person, online and recorded)

  • New dates available for my consultancy offer - impactful support tailored to drive inclusive, whole-school improvement.

  • SWALSS network groups - Continuing to lead powerful collaboration and knowledge-sharing sessions with specialist and mainstream schools.

  • New writing network - A dedicated space to explore inclusive writing practice, share strategies, and build confidence across settings.

I’m also thrilled to be launching a brand-new podcast with Ginny Bootman, exploring inclusion, relational practice, joyful learning, and the realities of the classroom. Keep your ears open, it’s coming soon.
