On the topic of children's reading for pleasure, I don't think that there is any one area of publishing that is more valid/useful than any other. Serious books can be as easy to read as funny ones if you're in the right mood. The key is to access the right book at the right time
I’ve compiled a Google folder of my science guided reading tasks for easy access for teachers to download & adapt. Folder contains a link to contribute to the folder, & a guide to using my GPT to make your own guided reading tasks! 🧪🔬📖

Mum guilt is strong today. Can’t go to my son’s assembly so I have painted a stone in his favourite colour, an image from his favourite song (Biffy Clyro’s Mountains), and written a note. He can hold it in his pocket and know I’m thinking of him.
@a_reflective I’m sorry you are struggling at the moment. I wanted you to know that you are making a difference. The year 9 cohort are just writing up their creative writing based on Boy, Everywhere. I will send you an anthology of the best work! Also just about to write to our MP on our views
@English_MrsD I’m very fortunate that we have one hour a fortnight, for each year in ks3. Yr7 - first chapter of a new book each time, yr8- writing for the real world and yr9- reading ‘boy, everywhere’ and use this to springboard into writing a letter to our MP. Happy to share SOWs
Secondary schools should teach non-English department teachers how children learn to read, rather than expecting them to figure it out for themselves, argues @KaySTinsley
