Hi,
Many on this platform, are disturbed that to see any official gov communications, they have to go back onto the #CessPit of X.
Could you please ask the media department to include @bsky.app and the growing Labour presence on here to give us representation and a voice.

Did you know that empathy is a learnable skill, not a character trait?
Research shows that just 10% of our empathy is genetic, the other 90% is learnt through social and environmental factors - and it can be developed at any age!

If you want to stop funding everything Amazon does and stands for, you’ve come to the right place.

We’re Bookshop.org, an ethical alternative for buying books online. Every single purchase financially supports independent bookstores, allowing them to continue serving their communities.

Shortsighted. This isn’t saving money as it will cost more in long run in benefits/prisons and cost on children’s wellbeing priceless

Most parents don’t enjoy reading to their children, survey suggests Report from Nielsen and HarperCollins shows that parents see reading as a literacy skill, rather than something to encourage their children to love

I was shocked by this

I was in library world for over 40 years and 2 weeks ago weeded most of myβ€˜stuff’ so didn’t bring it home. I advocated stock editing so followed my own advice. #feelingsmug

My single piece of parenting/teaching advice is read stories to your children every day and don't stop when they can read by themselves. It will develop empathy, build their confidence, increase their vocabulary and spark their imaginations. You're basically helping them to fly.

Last year's SLA weekend course was a sell-out, featuring an outstanding talk on AI, amazing author appearances, fantastic freebies, and an opportunity to make incredible connections and friendships.

Book for 2025, sponsored by @accessit.bsky.social and HarperCollinsUK.

β€˜After just 1 term of being read aloud to each day , so many benefits were evident: children’s empathy improved, attitude to reading was much better, reading ages increased & they enjoyed the multi cultural aspects of the books ’ Alison David, Harper Collins UK #primarylibraries

Join us to hear the latest research on reading and empathy. Explore how students can be supported in using reading to understand themselves and others, and discuss how to apply this research in your school library.
