@juliangough.bsky.social so on it! We should talk more about the 'dead zone of children's publishling'! I have lost count how many times these books have rescued a child's reading momentum - a vital principle in creating volitional readers - it gets overlooked too often.

Itโs heartbreaking so few children read for pleasure โ and sad to know the reasons why | Rhiannon Lucy Cosslett
When people face financial pressure and child poverty is so high, itโs hard to prioritise family reading, says Guardian columnist Rhiannon Lucy Cosslett
To prevent decline of reading for pleasure in our children, every school should have at its heart a library with librarian so that ALL children can choose books to embed reading motivation. Children need daily exposure to books to create volitional readers.
