I always appreciate the little touches that independent bookshops offer. To some, it’s plain wrapping paper and twine; to me it’s a little bit of care and love meaning my son can unwrap a tiny, “Wow! Books!” moment later. Thank you @wonderlandbookshop.bsky.social - can anyone guess what I got?

A year's worth of picturebook assembly suggestions that have a focus on diversity, equality, inclusion and empathy. Hopefully it's of use, even to just dip into occasionally. The link is here: padlet.com/Jon_Biddle/r... #edusky

Our National Literacy Trust research this year has shown that reading for pleasure among young people is at an all time low. But where do you see children accessing text and “reading” in less conventional ways? I’ll start!

I can never understand why children's books get left out of "great book" lists. The books we call "children's books" are really books written for an audience that includes children, but excludes no-one. They are books for EVERYONE - and if you exclude them, you miss the most important books of all!

If you and your staff were investing in a short, one off little PD between now and the end of term (ssssh! Christmas!) - what would you like? Trying to work out if I can squeeze in something marvellous as a present ☺️
I was thinking of some festive oracy and writing tasks?
