I think this is one of my favourite gifs ever. Alongside the ‘this is fine’ dog in the fire!

Great to hear of those being offered interviews for DEdPsy programmes. Good luck to all. If you were looking for some lived experience of the process of becoming a Trainee EP you might be interested in this PsychBites episode!

I think one of my favourite parts of doing thesis research was the deep level of thinking, the exploration about a subject and where the research could take it. Doesn’t always make it easy, however 🙂

Really enjoyed recording this episode with Dan. A lot of food for thought around what types of evidence we might be using in practice and what biases might exist…

I’ll ignore the confusion Star Wars and Star Trek @psychbites.bsky.social, but I will prepare some essential reading / watching for you!

Calling all families impacted by parental imprisonment!

I am recruiting children and young people to discuss their experiences of parental imprisonment as part of my doctoral thesis.

His book, lost in a good game, is also very good!

Been a good day on Bluesky to see some of my favourite posters about rugby transferring over here! Just need some of my favourite sports teams here now and I can fully defect…

Feel we need news/sports/professional organisations to start using it as well to really bring people across. It’s certainly why I am still on the platform that shall not be named.

Is Phonological-Only Instruction Helpful for Reading?: A Meta-Analysis Phonological awareness (PA), the awareness of sounds in spoken words, is strongly linked to reading outcomes. However, there is an ongoing debate regarding the effectiveness of PA instruction witho...

Phonological-only reading instruction works, but not as well as print-based approaches, is—unsurprisingly—more effective for phonological awareness than word reading and, again perhaps unsurprisingly, works less well in preschool: bit.ly/4ffN4AJ ($)
