The latest edition of Nomanis covers many aspects of literacy – from the benefits of oral storytelling, to a deep dive into phonemic proficiency, to the current evidence on reading comprehension, and a new study on the role of figurative language in our assessment of narrative writing, in articles from Trina Spencer and Chelsea Pierce, Nicola Bell, Jennifer Buckingham and Damon Thomas. Elsewhere in this edition, Anika Stobart and Jordana Hunter highlight the lack of evidence for open-plan classrooms, and Siobhan Merlo discusses why the Science of Maths Learning is important to our very survival. We hope you enjoy this edition – please share with your networks.
