Ohhh! Cried today reading this. Great as a class read for Y5/6. You know it’s a good book if it makes you laugh out loud, change your thinking or cry like a baby!
Following a few requests from teachers and school leaders, I've made short video on the key ideas that I think teachers (and parents/carers) need to know about reading development, based on my reading concept map.

How to: make a tunnel book ✨
I’m not great at voiceover videos but so many people DM’d and asked how to make these I thought it would be the easiest way!
Hope it helps 👏🏻🥰

Developed this for summarising, predicting and wondering. This is definitely something I’ll do again.
As I read, they had to make predictions, draw pictures, ask questions and summarise at the end of every chapter. They really loved this; I feel it made my kids really listen.
I believe EVERY CHILD CAN BE A READER! So I'm doing a massive free virtual school visit with @Booktrust on Nov 10 - I hope as many kids as possible will be part of it! If you're a teacher or librarian, please do sign up & join us!
