This year sees 60 years of UKLA - 60 years of building communities around a shared passion for literacy. In order to celebrate, we want to share the fond memories of our members from over the years. We kick off today with some from our wonderful past presidents

A real pleasure to present this research (my first ever conference presentation) this weekend at the brilliant @The_UKLA international conference in Brighton alongside @multimodaltext. The whole conference has been fantastic and I will definitely be back next year! #literacy
Thank you Jo and UKLA! Conference attendees will also hear about concerning phonics developments in Australia from Hyjeong Ahn and in Canada from Rachel Hedon.
