I really enjoyed writing Oracy: 100 Ideas for Primary Teachers and it’s been great to find that teachers value it.
So I’ve teamed up with my Oracy Cambridge colleague Alan Howe to create Oracy: 100 Ideas for Secondary Teachers.
It’s published on 15 January 2026 and is available to pre-order now, at https://www.bloomsbury.com/uk/100-ideas-for-secondary-teachers-oracy-9781801997331/
I hope you find it useful.
“An engaging, thoughtful and inspiring collection of strategies to add to my teacher tool kit. I can’t wait to include some of these new ideas in my lessons. Certainly a resource I’ll have to hand on my desk during planning sessions!”
“What a resource! Short, simple and easy to understand ideas that you can dip into as and when you want to improve your practice.”
“A masterful account that simplifies the processes, this excellent companion is streamlined and considered. The reader is invited to dip in and out often. A single page will transform a classroom, placing listening alongside speaking. It is accessible, inclusive, with engaging ideas and multiple extensions.”
“An essential guide for embedding oracy across the curriculum. Grounded in research and rich with strategies, it supports every teacher to build confident, articulate learners.”
