How do we get kids to stumble into reading, and reading for enjoyment? - Prof @JJ_Stellies, inspired by Prof Njabulo Ndebele #2030ReadingPanel

Hi @BestmedScheme ! This is my mom. She’s been diagnosed with Stage 4 metastatic breast cancer. This is us having birthday cake together Sunday in hospital. Sadly, this is probably my last birthday I will share with her. She’s been on a @BestmedScheme plan most of her life.

[Katie Huston @katiehust]

This. This is why. Because one day this will be normal, not news. @nalibaliSA https://t.co/dyEpYZNhr0
