While WWC (US) and EEF (UK)are *very* helpful sources, it would be great to have an Irish equivalent given the volume of 'programmes' and resources published in Ireland, and that schools are now required to buy @OidePrimaryLgs.
When selecting programmes, interventions or resources, schools can now use our reflective tool so that context, sources and research are all taken into consideration. This tool can support schools in selecting resources which best suit your schools context and the pupils needs.

Only 1 week left to support this campaign. One of the many issues with the free schoolbooks in primary schools is that the extracts for reading are too short for critical engagement. We need access to high quality children's literature #RightToBeAReader.
School libraries urgently need books that reflect the rich diversity of their classrooms and communities. There’s still time to contact your TDs in support of the #RightToBeAReader campaign – find an email template at the link below:.

This⬇️ Irish primary schools haven't had a school library grant since 2008 (with the exception of last year's one off payment). Please support @KidsBooksIrel campaign. #RightToBeAReader.
I opened a new library today in Claregalway’s Educate Together School. A beautiful room full of diverse, new books. I couldn’t help thinking that every child, every teacher, every school deserves a school library. Please support CBI’s #RightToBeAReader campaign. @LaureatenanOg
