Have you checked out this new edited collection by @TeresaCremin and @DrSarahMcG yet? It draws together the work of 25+ researchers, who review a specific aspect of RfP, share new research and propose ways forward for classrooms. 💙

It’s February, a new month, which means it’s time for me to give away a class set of novels via my book shop @ANewChapterBks. Last month a class got a full set of Malamander, which hopefully strengthened their reading offer. Simply RT for a chance to win.

Happy birthday to Chris Ofili, born #onthisday in 1968! 🎂

These watercolour portraits demonstrate Ofili's attention to the sensuous qualities of painting. 'Each one is made in a single sitting. They give me a sense of completion and spontaneity.' https://t.co/tJukEG2Pfv

[Ashley Booth @MrBoothY6]

Every month this year, I intend to give away a full class set of one book via @ANewChapterBks - I truly believe a full class set is one of the most valuable resources a teacher can have when teaching reading.

No faff to enter, just retweet and consider yourself in.

January.

@sufiyaahmed @teacher_books @scholasticuk Your book forms part of our teaching and learning in Y6 (WW2). A truly inspirational story.

@ImogenM16 @The_UKLA @tiafisher_ @MrBakerKS2 @anitaranih @Stickforamoon @rcharlesworth I’ve just ordered a copy. Thanks for the recommendation. 😊

[Emma King @Ej99King]

@ImogenM16 @ian_cushing @The_UKLA We’d love this. @ImogenM16 thanks for sharing and let’s spread the message in school.

Proud to present our school's poetry work and some of the poems our pupils have written this year which reflect their lives.
I've spent all day hearing inspiring people talk and it's given me so much food for thought! @The_UKLA

[Jon Biddle @jonnybid]

Have just updated my #ReadingForPleasure Padlet with some new resources (articles, suggestions for staff meetings, teaching resources, book recommendations for assemblies, etc). Hopefully it's useful. All shares appreciated! https://t.co/JBuWKFD2sh

@OpenUni_RfP @ChrisSoulUK @ImogenM16 @HarperCollinsUK @The_UKLA Huge congratulations Imogen! I can’t think of anyone more deserving of this award than you. You’ve inspired so many children & adults both within our school & further afield. Keep flying that RfP flag, & keep up your relentless pursuit of enabling a love of reading for all. 📚 ❤️

[Emma King @Ej99King]

@ImogenM16 @The_UKLA @anitaranih @HollyIrving19 @MrBakerKS2 Looking forward to reading this one, and perhaps introducing as a Y4 whole class text 😊

[Emma King @Ej99King]

@ImogenM16 @imaginecentre @anitaranih @Jo_Bowers @nikkigamble Amazing Imogen! @imaginecentre our children will love these 😊 Imogen, I have an eye on a few to read to my Y3 class! Lovely selection of books.

[Emma King @Ej99King]

@anitaranih @_Reading_Rocks_ @ShakespeareBT @ShakespearesPa2 @BIGPictureBooks @ImogenM16 I love it and I know the children would love it too!

[Emma King @Ej99King]

@ImogenM16 @anitaranih @Sammienicola87 @thehappynews123 One of my favourite memories from last term was watching four Y6 children read to a Y4 class in this space. The Y6 children were true storytellers and completely captivated the Y4s. Our children all truly love this space. ❤️

@Batesy1795 @ReadingFC @ValeSupporters @OfficialPVFC Done. Thanks for your support yesterday. 🙏

[Emma King @Ej99King]

@ImogenM16 @clpe1 @EarlyTrain @joshuaseigal @JosephACoelho @RumbleCoral @MichaelRosenYes @anitaranih The enthusiasm of the children who read and shared their poems with me was a joy to experience. Their sense of pride in what they had managed to produce was awesome. The sense of pride I had could be seen all over my face. Fabulous work 🙌
