The children were so excited to see these this morning and have spent all day telling me fantastic facts they’ve discovered or showing me things they can do. @BookinaBox3 thanks again, they really have gone down a storm.

Thank you @BookinaBox3 for this fantastic array of magazines that I know so many of the children will devour. Can’t wait to see their faces when they spot them in the reading corner tomorrow.

Now we've finished it, there is a full set of Whole Class Reading lessons (7 in total) for The Final Year by Matt Goodfellow on my Google Drive, for free. It covers the whole book, in the same easy to follow format each lesson. Know the book is v popular.

If you could make 3 changes to Ofsted what would they be??
1. Scrap judgements to effective or not yet effective like SIAMs
2. Publish timetable so schools know when they are due removing the dreaded wait
3. Return within 6-12 months for those not yet effective

If a child READS FOR PLEASURE, that child will do better in almost every way than a child who does not. Reading for pleasure isn't just fun - it's life-changing, and every single child deserves every possible chance to become a reader, and gain all the benefits of #literacy!

I believe EVERY CHILD can be a reader, but they need our help & support to do it. They need properly funded schools & libraries, access to the widest possible range of books, free choice in their reading matter & the right to read for pure pleasure.

I am absolutely blown away & so honoured to see that Tyger is Children's Book of the Month in both @Waterstones and @Foyles! I put 9 years of my life into writing Tyger, because I believe children's books are the most important books of all - so this means more than I can say!!!
