First @openuni-rfp.bsky.social @uklitassociation.bsky.social Teachers’ Reading Group session. Reflecting on our childhood reading, the impact adults had in supporting our reading journeys and beginning to consider the research. Now time to reflect, notice and fill in our practice surveys.

Running two online RfP sessions this term, Monday 23rd June at 3:45pm and Sunday 6th July at 7:00pm.

Will be talking about how children choose books, reading identities, peer recommendations and as many other things as I can squeeze in.

After the craziness of last week (SATs and Ofsted!), I almost missed being featured in this month’s @openuni-rfp.bsky.social newsletter!

Lovely to be featured next to @amygreatrex.bsky.social too 🧺📚
