Enjoyed @emmydee73 Milton the Mighty. Trying to increase my stash of books for lower KS2. Am an arachnophobe - still- but this is cute and funny and a great read. 🕷️

Today is International Trans Day of Remembrance. This is the toughest time in history to be trans and visible in the world, thanks to certain politicians, billionaires, trash media and Evangelicals. And it’s particularly tough for children and teens. Now, more than ever, we need

You hear this in bookshops too, and on the mums forums. Absolutely fuming. It’s pig-headed stupidity, and it’s detrimental to children reading 🤬
My ten-year-old son has been told by his teachers that he can't take comics or manga in to read as they "aren't proper books" and they "won't help him develop his reading skills". Like, WTAF? This is why children fall out of love with reading, and it's utterly heartbreaking.

Boys are borrowing 35% more than girls at our #school, with girls borrowing 25% more than they did last year at this time. So it's not because girls are borrowing less. We buck the national trend imo b/c we have comics / manga / verse novels / and books related to gaming.
📉 The gender gap in reading enjoyment has tripled. Boys are especially affected, with just 28% saying they enjoy reading compared to 40% of girls. Let's change this. #GrowAGenerationOfReaders
