🚨 The Government has just announced that free school meals eligibility will be expanded to cover all children living in households that receive Universal Credit.
This is a very positive move, marking a significant step towards taking hunger out of the classroom 👇🧵

Every time you encourage a child to read a book, you will change their lives - sometimes a little, sometimes a lot. But child by child, book by book, we can change the world. Children who read become adults who think - and will build a world that’s better for EVERYONE. #books #reading #literacy

In my 20's, when I started working creatively with kids, I began to revisit what I'd enjoyed as a child. Trying to unearth what I'd loved about art, unpicking what I'd found difficult. I began to reconnect with the boy I'd been, and I tried to become the adult he'd have wanted to help him. 🙂

Hello - I wrote a new blog about the teaching of whole class reading, which I haven't in a while. It's over 9000 words so quite a read, but I hope the comprehensive nature of it comes across as helpful, rather than patronising. Anyway - hope it's useful!
