Some really interesting perspectives on choosing ‘read-alikes’ and not relying on texts that we’ve always used or are more familiar to us. Using the familiar to reinvigorate our choices and supplementing our comfort texts to build knowledge 🙌🏻🥰 @clarafiorentini.bsky.social #edchatie

Time for my regular post for new writers about picture books. You do NOT need illustrations to submit a picture book text to an agent or publisher. Please do not pay anyone to create illustrations for you. It’s not necessary, you just need the text.

Very excited about our symposium on assessment in literacy this March and even more excited to hear from our special guest Dr Jan Hasbrouck. Registration is open now. literacy-channel.mykajabi.com/offers/z2z3M...

Final tweaks ahead of tomorrow evening's webinar on effective use of novels in the senior primary classroom. Packed with lots of great text recommendations- and as always, plenty by Irish authors & illustrators! #discoveririshkidsbooks Free registration: westcorkeducationcentre.ie/webinar/2823...

Great to attend the launch of the DCU Centre for Literacy Research, Policy & Practice this evening. The marvellous turnout on a cold Tuesday evening is a reflection of the great interest and commitment to literacy research in Ireland 👏 @dcuioe.bsky.social @patjburke.bsky.social
