First @openuni-rfp.bsky.social @uklitassociation.bsky.social Teachers’ Reading Group session. Reflecting on our childhood reading, the impact adults had in supporting our reading journeys and beginning to consider the research. Now time to reflect, notice and fill in our practice surveys.

Running two online RfP sessions this term, Monday 23rd June at 3:45pm and Sunday 6th July at 7:00pm. Will be talking about how children choose books, reading identities, peer recommendations and as many other things as I can squeeze in. More here: www.eventbrite.co.uk/o/jon-biddle...

#Suffolk schools and staff do consider this wonderful group, to build knowledge and foster children’s love of #readingforpleasure starting in September! See the flier for more details. @openuni-rfp.bsky.social

Gentle and engaging this delightful tale sensitively explores children’s responses to overwhelming emotions. Thanks. 🤩 @sallyannegarland.bsky.social a very rich discussion base @newarktrg.bsky.social @amygreatrex.bsky.social @jonnybid.bsky.social @kashleyenglish.bsky.social

After the craziness of last week (SATs and Ofsted!), I almost missed being featured in this month’s @openuni-rfp.bsky.social newsletter! Lovely to be featured next to @amygreatrex.bsky.social too 🧺📚 Link to read my report of last year’s #LeafLitFest here: ourfp.org/eop/the-leaf...

I'm at the library and I love it. You should go to the library.

A great drawing club this week ‘Flower Block’ by Lanisha Butterfield and Hoang Giang inspiring mark making, drawing, writing, oracy and joy! And linking beautifully with our CUSP text ‘Martha Maps it Out’ by Leigh Hodgkinson, #writingforpleasure in #EYFS inspired by #readingforpleasure pure magic!
