I have just read this comment from the Education Secretary "I have just come from a school where 7 and 8 year olds were talking about main clauses, They were picking out subordinate clauses and when I asked the teachers how they taught pupils they said 'There was a time when they described things by saying it's a doing word or a describing word'"
Doing words and describing words worked fine when I was at primary school. I want children to use apostrophes properly and not say "Woz you" But most of all I want them to enjoy reading - not to unpick every word.
Baby Reindeer - anyone watched it?
