This short paper about the decline in volitional reading is definitely worth ten minutes of your time. "In an ecosystem which supports volitional reading, young people flourish and encourage each other as readers and learners." @teresacremin.bsky.social shorturl.at/PquEf

I’ve had the privilege of being able to read this- it was such a treat to subjects I don’t usually have time to explore. For those in training, and those who are not! bsky.app/profile/tere...

An inspiring day at the @uklitassociation.bsky.social @openuniversity.bsky.social RfP conference today. Thank you @teresacremin.bsky.social and all the teachers and educators involved in sharing great practice in developing Choice and Voice.

@jobowers.bsky.social @librarylady.bsky.social @teresacremin.bsky.social I think one of you recommended this some time ago. Thank you. What a gorgeous lovely book! It is genuinely moving. Bravo @catherinebruton.bsky.social

At Wandle English Hub, we are delighted to be working with @britishlibrary.bsky.social to organise a fully-funded conference on Reading for Pleasure, social justice & opportunity taking place on Friday 4th July. The conference is fully-funded. Tickets and details: bit.ly/TurningPagesChangingFutures

A very important distinction made by @teresacremin.bsky.social between reading instruction and RfP right at the start of the @uklitassociation.bsky.social/ @openuniversity.bsky.social conference today. Both sides are important but distinct #OURfPConf

Children not having access to texts that tempt massively impacts their reading identity. @teresacremin.bsky.social: 'Children sometimes think they are poor readers, but they are just poor choosers'. It's our job to teach them how to choose books they enjoy & to ensure they are available #OURfPConf

What a fab space the OURfP conference has been. Always a joy to hear @teresacremin.bsky.social & colleagues speak & to see so many inspired folk. Thanks to all who stopped by the @uklitassociation.bsky.social hope you to see you at the International Conference ukla.org/ic25/ #ReadingforPleasure

ENGLISH + INCLUSION Wonderful line up for our June hybrid conference/CPD with a focus on putting students' experiences front + centre in English lessons + wider reading @teresacremin.bsky.social @stephenjdilley.bsky.social @darrenchetty.bsky.social www.englishandmedia.co.uk/courses/4536...

Starmer making a point here and thank goodness.

World Book Day is a wonderful event to remind us of the joy of reading, but I was disappointed recently to view the words of a teacher in a public forum. 'On WBD we are allowing the children to read their way...' Choice is not just for WBD, give the children time to read their way, every day.

Delighted to be joining Geoff Barton for this celebration on Saturday week! NAAE is 40! 🥂 Wish I was ! 🙃@jonnybid.bsky.social @rcharlesworth.bsky.social @kashleyenglish.bsky.social @ruthbakerleask.bsky.social www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/naae-is-40...

My latest article for @neunion.bsky.social Educate magazine is about non-fiction. It's often overlooked when talking about reading in the classroom and it shouldn't be. An exciting non-fiction text can engage readers just as well as any other. @michaelrosenyes.bsky.social @teresacremin.bsky.social
