#teachers - teachers don't have 13 weeks holiday. After planning and marking the have the same or less than many other people.

#childrensbooks - why don't the literary or political magazines review children's books?

[Jonny Zucker @jonnyzucker]

#creativewriting - children's creative writing must be protected in schools. Their brains NEED it.

[Jonny Zucker @jonnyzucker]

I love @arvonfoundation - it's so amazing to see primary school kids getting inspired to write creatively and take risks with their work!

[Jonny Zucker @jonnyzucker]

Amazing time last night with @narinderd at Arvon's @hurstonthescene. Brilliant writer, great talk, kids and adults loved it!!!

[Jonny Zucker @jonnyzucker]

Really excited to be working with Jean Atkin @WordSparks this week @Hurstonthescene - creativity in John Osbourne's manor!

Thanks @jimrockslots for linking me with Mr T @westthorntonPA in Croydon. Had a superb time with some brilliant PLRS writers!

If you want to motivate reluctant readers look at @beanstalkreads & @beanstalkLSE - they train thousands of volunteers - a fab outfit!!!

Check out @WestThorntonPA in Croydon. Based on a Swedish school, it is REVOLUTIONARY. Visionary head teacher + brilliant staff

@RachelSmallman1 @Arsenal @OfficialWolves Totally understand but I live in a house full of Gooners and sadly could not step out at Molineux!

@RachelSmallman1 My number 1 passion is getting boys to read - am in a sports mad school in Crystal Palace tomorrow to do footy and reading!

[Jonny Zucker @jonnyzucker]

@RachelSmallman1 Thanks Rachel - that's so lovely to hear - I have boys and when they read at that age it was such a joy to see

[Jonny Zucker @jonnyzucker]

Well done @whatSFSaid - if we're so proud of being a 'Reading Nation" where are the children's book reviews in newspapers?

[Jonny Zucker @jonnyzucker]

We need an INTERNATIONAL DECLARATION OF CHILDREN"S READING RIGHTS - all children should have the right to be taught to read

[Jonny Zucker @jonnyzucker]

Had an amazing day at @RokeslyJuniors and @PalmersGreenHigh - great meeting so many brilliant pupils and teachers!

@LibMrs That is one of the most beautiful school libraries I've ever seen. AMAZING WORK!!!

[Jonny Zucker @jonnyzucker]

Well done to @biggreenbookshop for giving the @patronofreading scheme the full works - unique in the UK?

#schoollibraries - a school library can't be in a cupboard or a closet. It has to be in what is commonly known as a room.
