Absolutely LOVE @Suchmo83 's fantastic book. It is insightful, easy to read, brimming with practical tips and so full of passion for developing children's reading. I am buzzing to be using this to rethink how we can teach reading more effectively in our school.

โThe Invisible Paradeโ by #LeighBardugo and @JohnPicacio is an extraordinary story about coming to terms with grief. Set on Dรญa de los Muertos, it tells a story of realising the dead are always with us . Poignant and funny with astounding visuals. Amazing. #PicturebookPage Y5/6

๐ A child who reads will grow into an adult who thinks, dreams, and questions the world around them. There is no substitute for books, only endless possibilities within them. #ChildrensBooks #ReadingMatters #Literacy #AmReading #Education

Review thread: @FlyingEyeBooks Vern is a bit of a failure. He returns home with little to no prospects. His gran gets him a job at Quasar. Mop in hand, Vern thinks he can handle being a custodian. It is just a posh word for a janitor.

EVERY CHILD CAN BE A READER! Give them access to the widest possible range of books. Let them choose freely and read for pure pleasure, with no strings attached. Never dismiss their choices. Every reader has the right to read whatever they love! #literacy (Art: Quentin Blake)

Fabulous picturebook about how a piece of furniture can be the heart of a home. #Reading #Books

The story is a simple one โ how a table can be the cornerstone of a home. Alex Killian and Brooke Smart share a host of ways that a simple piece of furniture can be integral to us as humans. โฆ
