Just watched #Outnumbered - it whoops the bottom of the #GavinandStaceyFinale so exquisitely I’ve fallen out of love with the TV industry and in love with Andy Hamilton all over again.

I don't believe there's such any thing as good reading and bad reading. It's all reading, and it's all good! If we want kids to be readers, we have to respect their rights as readers. Let reading be a pleasure, and they'll be readers forever! #literacy (Art: Quentin Blake)

If you want kids to love reading, show them that YOU love reading! Make books central to everything you do. Always share books, talk about books, help them find new books to love. Never judge their choices, and read to them every day. It'll change their lives forever! #literacy

A problem no one speaks about, is that we primarily frame reading for pleasure like we're doing kids a favour, or like it's an investment in their future. But reading is supposed to be fun! That has to be our primary concern or none of this works! 1/5

Honestly, we really are at a time where we need to be asking ourselves some serious questions about curriculum & assessment and what it does for our children. Because of this is the result, something is seriously wrong.Will the curriculum & assessment review do this? Let’s see…

"Evans was a television comedy producer before becoming a novelist, and her gift for comic language and timing is evident everywhere in this joyful book." (*blushes happily*) https://t.co/JApBMsIj7J

It’s sometimes said that the difference between a short story and a novel is that a story contains a moment, whilst a novel has a broader sweep.

As an author for both children & adults, I’ve thought deeply on this, & I feel the heart of the issue isn’t celebrity authors themselves. I wholeheartedly embrace and celebrate anyone who ignites a love for reading in children. Rather, it’s about the overall frustration of
‘It’s quite galling’: children’s authors frustrated by rise in celebrity-penned titles
