I've created three 'bingo' sheets of summer English challenges: reading, writing and SPaG. Particularly good for all those nervous parents/pupils worried by the 'falling behind' narrative. Let me know if you want a copy. Thanks @AVisserFuray for some reading ideas.@Team_English1
We have 4 copies of the outstanding debut YA novel #ABeautifulTerribleThing by @sparewriter to #win!
For the chance to follow Cara & Nathan through their grief and love in this tragic, compelling, immersive dual narrative story…

Two gems - short, gorgeous reads.
First is fiction - stunningly written - Clear by Carys Davies.
