@childrensbkshop Fabulous! Congratulations 🥳

@CarolAtherton8 I loved the book! Thank you.

[Michael Rosen 💙💙🎓🎓 NICE 爷爷 @MichaelRosenYes]

I paid a visit to the unsurpassably glorious @childrensbkshop today. The deal is that if you ring them and tell them what inscription you would like in one of my books, I pop in regularly and do the job. Simples.

@AlexJQuigley @PieCorbett Following - teying to do more on this right now

[Mary Agnew @MaryAreading]

@_Reading_Rocks_ Can we get some for incoming year 7s if their primaries haven’t taken you up on this? We bought some for our transition days but would love to get our hands on some more!

[Mary Agnew @MaryAreading]

@AVisserFuray @Team_English1 @OpenUni_RfP ideas please on fantastic read aloud novels for teen students with low (and very low) reading ages. We’re using lots of great @BarringtonStoke titles. What else have people found works really well? Diverse, topical, contemporary. Thanks!

[Mary Agnew @MaryAreading]

@LantaPlowden @junodawson Yes please!

[Atlanta Plowden @LantaPlowden]

@junodawson @MaryAreading one to consider!

[Mary Agnew @MaryAreading]

@ChristineBuicke @TeachFirst @gmcuk Blushes! Hope all good with you x

[Mary Agnew @MaryAreading]

Because you don’t have to join @TeachFirst first! Today I leave @gmcuk (and previous civil service career) for new adventures in secondary teaching. Quite the time to join the profession #TeamEnglish. Expect YA reading thoughts rather than health policy after today. Wish me luck.

[Mary Agnew @MaryAreading]

@NicolaC07ter @TeachFirst @gmcuk Thank you Nicola. Will miss my Edinburgh trips x

[Mary Agnew @MaryAreading]

@stephrosemc @TeachFirst @gmcuk Thanks Steph - will miss you!

[Mary Agnew @MaryAreading]

@so_says_sally @TeachFirst @gmcuk Yep, not quite the dizzy heights of some of you guys but a different kind of rewarding!

[Mary Agnew @MaryAreading]

@deborahbowman @TeachFirst @gmcuk Thank you Deborah - it was so lovely working with you
