Simon, it was a great session. Thank you for your presentation--you pithily and humourously articulated so many of my views! We'll be expanding on our LE rollout from last year; I look forward to touching base in more detail about practice--and maybe even some CPD.
Destroy the myth that libraries are no longer relevant. If you use your library, please share. Picture of library aisle filled with books.

The Nat Literacy Trust survey on Reading for Pleasure shows a big dip! 4 recommendations (my paraphrase):
1. Prioritise reading not as a means of evaluation
2.Include texts that resonate with children
3. Make time for independent reading
4. Make reading a 'social' not just an individual thing. 1/
Such a great book! Lovely posters!

I'm piloting book subscription boxes for teens & a parent where they get a copy each of the same book + a discussion guide. First feedback came in and was so positive it made me cry. Full of connection, fun, discussions, learning about each other. Gorgeous stuff 🩷
I’m not going to leave X just yet - I hate that sense of being driven away from a place I used to love. But after one day on here, I already know how much prefer it.
So if you see this and would be kind enough to share it to let people find me, that would be hugely appreciated. Thank you.
