It is traditional in Iceland to give the gift of a book to be opened on Christmas Eve. Books are unwrapped and then read together. It is called Jolabokaflod (Christmas book flood). 📖 🎄

As we move into the holidays, please remember: READING FOR PLEASURE has the biggest impact of any factor on children's life chances. So never stop sharing books with kids, talking about books, making books central to everything you do. Never stop changing their lives! #literacy #EduSky #books

First revived #edchatie discussion on Monday evening, 7.30-8.30pm, is on what we want in education from the next government.

Irish educators: pls repost this today.

Looking for future hosts: drop a PM if you're volunteering!

Meanwhile, this time:

These comments from Norma Foley at the INTO’s education debate are beginning to cause a stir in teacher circles.

Is the abject shortage of teachers - where it’s almost impossible to get a substitute teacher - a ‘crisis’?

The minister would prefer to label it an “opportunity”…

Never forget: READING FOR PLEASURE has the biggest positive impact of any factor on children's life chances. So never stop sharing books with kids. Never stop reading to them, and helping them to read. Never stop changing lives. #literacy #kidlit #books
