Reading aloud to a class is one of the few times, in my opinion, when you can take their minds out of school and show them the scope of the world. Its easy to take that for granted if you haven't been in school for decades. Please share! https://t.co/arRufmqHfb

KO TURNS TWO TODAY! 🎈🎈
Two years saying no more lip service to change. TWO YEARS OF:
📚Black / Brown kids on book covers (knowing how it affects sales)
📚Making bestsellers (despite what we just said about covers)
📚Disability being a strength, not a challenging plot point
If you are looking for a good drinking game this weekend, I would highly recommend 'spot the orphan Gypsy, Roma, Traveller child in children's literature.'
You will be smashed in minutes.
Meet Danny Butler, “I’m a proud Gay Traveller man - we need to raise visibility of who we are amongst young LGBT 🏳️🌈Travellers - give them hope for the future and Instill pride” Coming soon 🎬🎬👉🏼🏳️🌈 01/11/2019 @TravellerLGBT@Staircase2@LGBTIQ_Roma@LGBTLewisham@TravellersTimes
@OxReadingSpree The best thing about the spree is coming into school and home (reading my book swap poetry book to my 13yold) and putting things in place in our classrooms.
@CressidaCowell@OxReadingSpree@MichaelRosenYes .@educationgovuk: "as schools are autonomous institutions it is for individual schools to decide how best to provide and maintain a library service for their pupils," & "The new national funding formula wil provide a cash increase in respect of every school and every local area."
