I messed up the video earlier - sorry., I'll try again! Last year @Teacherglitter inspired me to start a reading scrapbook with each of my kids. It's quite simply one of the best things we've ever done. We're now keen to get as many schools and parents doing these as possible...

Anyone with a school budget, or looking to get a delivery of books for themselves (and then others!) to enjoy, I get a delivery from @ANewChapterBks each month and it's always sensational. I can specify year groups, range of ability and it's always ace - the guy knows his books!

I'm late to the party on this but my gosh I'm having so much fun reading this! It feels like @XanderArmstrong has taken his favourite snippets from a whole host of things and created something wonderfully original. A belter.đ @FarshoreBooks

What a paws-itive entertaining whodunnit The Big Bad Wolf Murder is - an underrated gem! A twist on the fairytale we know, mixed with Zootropolis, adrenaline-fuelled chases of Alex Rider & Agatha Christie, itâs addictiveđș Thanks @Usborne @petergbell

No. 39 in my #FavePicturebooks25 is âGood Golden Sunâ by @BRENDAN_WENZEL A simple idea, tracing the sunâs journey becomes something brilliant. It shows how energy moves through the world and give everything life, and visually it zings. Great science. Fab stuff. #PicturebookPage

No 38 in my #FavePicturebooks25 âTogether We Rememberâ by #JackieMorera & #VioletaEncarnaciĂłn is a tender, poignant story of grief, healing, and the bond between father & daughter. A beautiful reminder that remembering more, not less, helps us heal. #PicturebookPage

It's our fault for voting in this Tory government...
The government believes schools can find savings through adjusting the make-up of leadership teams and deployment of support staff, as it prepares to leave them to foot the bill for future teacher pay rises https://t.co/enRJkKgcmm

The stakes & darkness are raised in The Fate of Finnegan Quick. Having loved Larryâs humour in other books, I really love the creepiness & itâs perfect for Dan Smith fans. In Fate, lives are at stakes & secrets are discovered⊠itâs addictive reading, which my Y6s will love this!

No 40 in my #FavePicturebooks25 is⊠âTo Activate Space Portalâ by @aportisa is a hilarious, romp where diplomacy depends on your dental situation. Blrg & Zrk fear weâre here to eat them until they see our tiny teeth. Surreal art, glitchy translations, Genius. #PicturebookPage

I must have spoken to well over 100 headteachers across the country recently and they're all saying the same things: Many, many more pupils with complex SEND needs. More challenging behaviour and at a younger age. Too little specialist provision. Frustrated families. Social

A tender triumph âMy Friend, Billy Whiskersâ by #DavidLitchfield is a heartwarming tale of imaginary friendship, courage & empathy. Litchfieldâs dreamy art & gentle storytelling help kids feel seen, brave & beautifully understood. A snowy-day hug in book form. #PicturebookPage

Two new titles that are out tomorrow from @Scholastic. The Last Resort is a spooky story with augmented reality ghosts that sounds like a total hit. The Wild Wood is a beautiful, illustrated journey through the seasons of the forest. I can't wait to read both â€ïžđ
