Today people came to The Reading Room looking for different things:
π something to read
π¨ a chat
π a safe space
π a friendly face
π¬ a break from the cold
π½ a quiet place to eat
We all found what we needed & we all stayed to read.

The BEST thing - even better than the books - has been the look of pure joy on the face of every Mystery Reader as they see the children appear in the meeting.
The Reading Room is back.
There's a little voice telling me that adding the whole school to one room could be a terrible idea, but I'm not listening to it. There are probably two weeks left of this online life. Now's the time to give things a go.
We're keeping story time going for our school on Class Dojo, but we need permission from publishers.
@LittleTigerUK, John Kelly, @StephLaberis,
can we read your book? Please?
BOOK GIVEAWAY!!! ππππ
I have a spare copy of The Highland Falcon Thief signed by me and @MGLnrd, packed with illustrations by @elisaupsidedown! To win it, RT this and follow me. I'll pick a winner at random at 9pm on Sunday. UK only I'm afraid. Good luck! ππ

@HTMISTERK We loved our tree. We wrapped up books for the shelf underneath to be unwrapped at storytime every day.
As long as you know if you do a Christmas display, it has an expiry date and you'll end up having to change it in January.

New year,
new books,
new reading display.
Our readers are excited about helping us choose which of these 2019 releases to buy. So many books to get excited about!
@Mrs_Y_ Blue tac, so they didn't get spoiled.
Lights were woven through. There may have been the occasional careful staple, but I don't think so.
The star was hanging from a drawing pin.
@EmmaValerio82@_Reading_Rocks_ The Christmas Eve Tree and Refuge are both beautiful and great for starting bigger conversations.
Jesus' Christmas Party is a good laugh.
Took a basket of books out at lunchtime & ks1 did brilliant things:
-Lots of reading (obvs)
-Sharing books
-Running around with books
-Setting up a Library & charging me a pound before they would use their scanner to let me have my own book!

Schools, if you want to get your pupils reading for pleasure this year, here is a plan. It's based on seeing what works in the hundreds of schools I've visited over the years. Please share.
