A wonderful member of our ⁦@Literacy_Trust⁩ team, Rachel Samuel, is racing to urgently raise £300,000 so her 18-month-old baby son, Robin, can access life-preserving cancer treatment only available in Barcelona. If you can, please help baby Robin. https://t.co/tPuSjtBuKy

A few quick responses to today’s announcement from the chancellor. Others will do the detailed analysis of the funding etc much better than me.

As a nursery school headteacher here are my 4 key points. A short 🧵

[Carey Oppenheim @CareyOppenheim]

Striking consensus between women and men, old and young, across political parties and regions on pay for the early years workforce – 8 in 10 think that it is too low. And solid majorities for greater investment @EYAlliance @KindredSquared

@KarenMBoardman @KindredSquared Agree.

Any well-run research or survey needs to define its terms.

This one offers its definition of ‘school-readiness’ at the start and reminds respondents to base their answers on that definition later in.

Why children read:”the children spoke of books giving them entertainment and information;of reading helping them to understand people unlike themselves;of finding in books a place of escape and a mitigation of loneliness; of aid in coping with difficulty” https://t.co/UEjKcnVapF
