A thought for the new academic year. What's the most important thing you can help kids to do? Get good test scores? No, it turns out READING FOR PLEASURE has the biggest impact on children's life chances. Help them fall in love with books, and you'll change their lives forever.
Prolificā¦perceptiveā¦and a little bit political, @jonathancoe is an institution who we are too excited to host next Tuesday evening.
Nab your tickets now online, on the phone, or in the shop.
8th November - 7 pm

How do you get kids to LOVE READING? If you do these 3 things, you'll be giving them a great start:
1. Read aloud to them every day.
2. Give them the widest possible range of books to choose from.
3. Let them choose freely, and never dismiss their choices.

Do children's books matter? Well, if you ask anyone about the books that really shaped them, that lit up their hearts and minds and changed their lives forever - they will almost always tell you about CHILDREN'S BOOKS. So they're the most important books of all! #literacy

People sometimes ask me who my books are aimed at. They are aimed at EVERYONE! The books that we call "children's books" are really books that everyone can read, however old they are. Grown-ups are very much allowed & indeed encouraged to read them too. You can never be too old!
It's #DyslexiaAwarenessWeek! š« To celebrate, we've raided the office shelves and are offering this little book bundle for age 11+
