Good luck to all the authors doing World Book Day visits this coming week! I’ve made us a bingo card. First one to get all nine wins a ten-page form which finance suddenly reveal you must complete before they’ll pay your invoice! Happy travels!

We have 10 texts to choose from - each carefully selected so that, whether in Reception or Yr 6, children will enjoy the themes explored + make meaningful writing progress. Written outcomes are ‘at pitch’ for each stage, providing opportunities for revision, catch-up and extension where it's needed.

Planning a book week this March? Whole School Writing Roots (member-only) are the perfect way to bring the school community together! Enjoy these pics from schools embracing this approach with 'Change Sings.' This book is a joyous anthem to the importance of working together for a better world. 🌎🙌

"Children’s fiction widens our perspectives & urges us to defy our biases about children facing challenging circumstances." Our #WriterInResidence @lawrencepatrice.bsky.social recommends great books that adults should read to help them empathise with children: www.booktrust.org.uk/news-and-fea...

Fantastic Working Walls in classrooms and displays in corridors celebrating writing at College Town Primary too - a joy to watch children in real time using their teacher models, prior learning and Working Walls to support them with their own writing 🖋️ @literacytree.bsky.social

We're absolutely loving these Reading Journey shared class books made by the pupils and teachers at Grange Primary School in Bermondsey. Such a creative way to capture children's enjoyment of and engagement with the wide range of wonderful texts they have read. @literacytree.bsky.social 📚👏🤩

And another #NewIllustrationOfTheDay from Ten-Word TinyTales of Love, a sampler of 21 illustrations of Joseph Coelho’s miniature stories. This huge, muddy dog is by Jarvis. Out from Walker Books 16 Jan. @jarvis.bsky.social My art-loving tale: “Every time a blue sky dawned, she posted a picture.”

Kicking off the New Year with a jam-packed half-day INSET led by @literacypippa.bsky.social #NewYearNewLiteracy Pippa discussed our #TeachThroughaText pedagogy, using 'The Wilderness' (by Steve McCarthy) as an example. Teachers even had a go at some of the short writing outcomes for this book!

If it's helpful to schools and teachers, below is the link to a year's worth of picturebook assembly suggestions that have a focus on empathy, diversity, equality and inclusion. They're all books I've used and loved. #edusky padlet.com/Jon_Biddle/r...
