Genuine wow moment listening to @lauramucha at #ASCELWOW24 describing her journey into poetry after a life-changing incident, and how literacy is more than having books to read, it’s also about having a safe haven - a place (libraries) and a person (librarians) ❤️

[ASCEL @ASCELUK]

We're off, all ready for an inspiring weekend of learning and sharing. And we start with @henleydarren,

In partnership with @Literacy_Trust, I've done a virtual version of my FOOTBALL READING GAME for the men's Euros. It's free. For the classroom or the home. It promotes reading through #EURO24.
Please use and pass it on.

Another reason I quit teaching. Whoever brought data into education should be eviscerated with rusty barbed wire.
