Great to present on my ongoing PhD research at the @esai-irl.bsky.social ECR strand this afternoon. Thank you to Céline Healy for chairing. A great chance to engage in dialogue about our studies and share ideas and insights. @siobhanweekes.bsky.social

The Spring 2025 edition of Literacy News is now live. This issue explores The Joy of Reading, with articles spanning early childhood, primary, and post-primary education. I was pleased to contribute alongside a brilliant group of educators and researchers—thank you to all involved.

I really enjoyed presenting alongside an incredible panel at last night's Literacy Association of Ireland TeachMeet, just in time for World Book Day this week! 📚👏🏼

Great evening at DCU @danwuori.bsky.social. The panel discussion reinforced the need for a shift in how ECEC is viewed within the Irish education system, calling for education for children under 5 to be valued just as much as for those over 5—along with the professional recognition of educators 👏🏼

I may be biased, but there’s no place like #Dublin at #Christmas

This morning, I returned to my former school in Crumlin to facilitate The Gift of Reading, which aimed to promote shared reading over Christmas. Families of Early Start and infant classes joined us, and with Roisin's (HSCL) support, everyone received picturebooks to take home🥰 #reading #picturebooks

My favourite page in the new Guidance for Good Practice, accompanying the updated Aistear: The Early Childhood Curriculum Framework (NCCA, 2024). I was delighted to see a page explicitly highlighting the alignment between our two curriculum frameworks for young children 👏🏼

Thrilled to be at the Plé Seminar at DCU today! Sharon Skehill and Donna Carolan unveiled the newly published Aistear: The Early Childhood Curriculum Framework. Such an exciting milestone for Early Childhood Education in Ireland! #Aistear #EarlyChildhoodEducation
