Today's options are possibly my favourite historian, Richard J. Evans, or definitely one of my favourite #Kidlit authors, @mazevansauthor.bsky.social. I guess I'm just a fan of Evanses 😂 any relation?? #readingteachers #history

Firmly believe that teachers should also be learners. Anyone got any fun academic interests that are as obscure as my obsessions with the #SpanishCivilWar? #History #UKEduSky #BookSky #ReadingTeachers #PrimaryEduSky

I mostly refrain from politicking here, but I'm a big fan of someone doing this to a roadsign for 'The America' in my village 😂 Well-played, neighbour! #BritishHumour #America #Mexico

Loveliest school visit this week from Jennifer Killick. Pupils bursting with excitement from start to finish! Big thank you to @bookwagonuk.bsky.social for facilitating book sales. Highly recommended for ease, customer service and for just clearly being book people! ##readingforpleasure #edusky

Quite surprised by this @teachertapp.bsky.social result. Personally hated school and never foresaw myself entering one ever again once I left. Guess the Lord/fate/providence/sheer comic coincidence had other plans!

Bidding farewell to the weekend with mine and Mrs B. Reads' early Valentine's present to each other: Mosaic. If I can control the Mediterranean, I'll be fine in my classroom... #GamingTeachers #BoardGames #BoardGameSky

Accidentally stumbled across this article on a school website about what makes an 'outstanding' lesson. This paragraph gave me absolute SHUDDERS! Whatever changes lay ahead with #curriculum, #ofsted or whatever else, we must NOT go back to this utter tripe! #EduSky #UKEduSky

Don't know if #50books2025 is something I'll have as a hard and fast target, but certainly looking ahead to my year's reading with excitement. Anyone else have any fun reading plans ahead? #BookSky #ReadingTeachers #PrimaryEduSky #EduSky

The last two books from Baby B. Reads' book advent calendar are nothing short of spectacular! Both undoubtedly modern #Christmas classics. #PictureBooks #PicFic #SeasonsReadings #ReadingTeachers #BookSky #PrimaryEduSky @tavaresbooks.bsky.social @dc-litchfield.bsky.social

Love this page of my teacher planner as it gives me a chance to digest and reflect on my reading throughout the academic year. I really need to get an EduBook done soon, though, to justify its place on the key! #ReadingTeachers #EduSky #UKEduSky #PrimaryEduSky #BookSky

Lots of new teachers are arriving, so let's do some chatting / sharing.
Which EduBook has had the biggest impact on your teaching and why?
I'll start with 'Building Communities of Engaged Readers' by @teresacremin.bsky.social et al., and Teach Like A Champion.

For engaging boys (and girls), Book of the Half-term. Within days of giving out the first copies of the first book, I had a parent thank me for her son's new-found excitement for reading and a group of four boys asking to start a reading club. Read books, know kids, introduce them. Best policy. #RfP
