Great question.
Will need to go back and discuss / reflect with staff team.

Not one answer - as variety is important.
High quality engaging texts: written, audio or video.
Linking to other aspects of curriculum, real purposes can inspire.
Important to give voice and choice:
Who writing as?
Who and why writing for?
What format?
🤣
#PrimaryRocks
No way I can choose just one!
