Children will always need BOOKS to help them make sense of the world. I love the idea that children's books can be bridges connecting all children, crossing all barriers, helping them to imagine a better world – and to build it, one day. #books

Hardbacks add to the awe and wonder of reading and love sharing them in school. They tend to do better when shared around but the dust jackets can take a battering. Agree with the others about hardbacks of favourite authors / series. Who will be able to wait for Skandar 5 paperback!
I'm excited to be talking about the life-changing power of reading for pleasure at this @staustelllitfest.bsky.social event for teachers, librarians & all school staff in Cornwall! Come & join on us on June 12!

If we care about the future of our children, we need a library & a librarian in every school, to help every child find the books that will make them readers. Libraries & librarians change children's lives FOREVER - and they're more vital now than ever! #libraries #librarians #literacy
Primary schools have a huge role to play. We need to teach digital literacy. Enable them to “think with care” (Laura Knight). Preparing them to use keyboards - how many words can pupils type per a minute? @inspiringsw.bsky.social @celtacademies.bsky.social
Great start to the weekend @inspiringsw.bsky.social AI in education conference. Perfectly pitched introduction by @moremorrow.bsky.social
Teachers in Cornwall. Less than a month to go until this fantastic opportunity. Have you got your tickets? #readingchamgeslives #reading #teachers #education #learning #cornwall @moremorrow.bsky.social @celtacademies.bsky.social
This is going to be a fun way to help raise funds for the festival and get to meet some of the authors. Have you got your tickets? #cornwall #readingforpleasure
Totally agree. Best education secretary in a very long time
What an awesome day!
Grappling with Learning and Teaching framework ideas. The future of learning in @celtacademies.bsky.social is very exciting.
We are privileged to have such open and humble leaders.
We are so excited to share that @whatsfsaid.bsky.social will be talking to school staff in Cornwall about the life changing power of reading for pleasure on 12th June. Grab your free tickets now #cornwall #teachers #schools #readingforpleasure

It’s been too long since we last met up. Does the festival (14th June) coincide with a trip to Cornwall for you?
Always such a privilege to be a member of @uklitassociation.bsky.social awards committee. So much inspiration to be taken from the Literacy School of the Year and Our Class Loves this Book entries. So much evidence of the impact quality books and reading teachers can make
Isn’t it a gem Coral! We are so lucky that @afharrold.com will be visiting St Austell in June for @staustelllitfest.bsky.social We will be really celebrating this book
I’ve now ordered both of those as I haven’t read them but shout out for this
This is awesome👇🏻
