My latest article for Educate magazine explores the importance of getting the transition in reading from KS2 to KS3 right, and how children's reading identities evolve as they move through education. A huge thank you to Amy Brookes for sharing her insights as a school librarian.

Over the past six years, I’ve loved writing a regular reading column in Educate magazine. Almost forty articles later, covering graphic novels, empathy, peer recommendations, reading aloud, and much more, I’ve gathered them all on my Padlet.

The Norfolk Children's Book Centre @NorfolkCBC is 40 years old this year! They're a wonderful organisation that have had a big impact on children's reading.

They've just launched a Crowdfunder to aid their move to a new site. Do consider supporting them.

There's a child in my class who won't read during reading time. Each day, I've 'accidentally' left a book on her desk. She normally has a quick flick through then discards it. Yesterday, it was Rhythm and Poetry by @KarlNova. She read for twenty minutes then put it in her tray.

Excellent from Jon again. Evolving to fit the social circles of parents and children in this age is vital. Many of my students here at Brookes talk about using TikTok for their book recommendations.
