Reactively responding to the storm will enable children to hook into the books. This was a shared real-life experience- a fabulous way to hook into a narrative, poem or non-fiction

The importance of the repeated text with enough copies to develop collective book talk, social reading & most importantly, enjoyment!

A book area completely dedicated to reader identity. Children & staff really knowing & adapting book choices so that the area truly is reflective of their love in Year 2

War is a difficult subject for anyone to comprehend - let alone children. Books are a brilliant way to put yourself in someone else's shoes & allow children to ask questions, explore & give meaning. See a collection of books for a range of primary age to explore

The simplicity of the story crate & story reel is back! Provides focus, precision on key tier 2 & 3 vocabulary & provides props to reenact for language development & merely developing a love of reading

Keeping it simple! Creating a main focal point matching to the children’s interests as they start Reception so that they get hooked on books 📚
#DevelopingaLoveofReading
Do your reading areas give choice & are carefully chosen? A repeated read area & themed book shelves all front facing allow chn to see their favourites or try a new book. Books linked to children’s interests are in provision too

Fantastic to meet with the 32 English Hubs today to discuss our plans for moving the
#EnglishHubs

Enthuse children to want to read with high quality texts. Hook them in & they will love to read! Books are our treasure! Repeated texts for our favourites too! LoveReading

#GettingExcitedAboutReading
A good sign of a successful reading area- it is used. Simple, uncluttered & filled with books identifying with the children’s interests. Finding out reader identities is key! Talk, listen & act on these. The love of reading will spread. There is a book out there for everyone!
As the weather cools there is nothing better than providing blankets & exciting books to relax at playtimes
#GettingLostInABook
📚 These pallet reading huts provide wonderful spaces for children to relax. Add tarpaulin to make them waterproof 🌧️ 📚
We love poetry books at our base hub. After carrying out a review of our libraries, we noticed that children were not choosing poetry as much as fiction & non-fiction. So we heightened it on WBD & have created features across the hub. It has worked!
#LovePoetry

We are sending all our positive thoughts and best wishes to Headteachers and leaders nationally as they face difficult decisions this week.
Keep strong, you have got this!

How do you develop story telling, vocabulary & language development through small world & role play? These areas dotted throughout EYFS & KS1 promote this through careful modelling from adults & children taking this learning forward through role play

REPEATED TEXTS are a great way of encouraging chn to share their love of reading of favourite texts. Repeated texts give chn the opportunity to revisit, develop their confidence & share books together
