The National Year of Reading recognises that reading has evolved: it meets us where we are, opening up new ways for our children to connect with, and explore what they already love ✨ #GoAllIn2026 This #NationalYearOfReading2026, the National Literacy Trust's annual primary conference, delivered in partnership with The British Library, is a beautiful opportunity to #GoAllIn as educators. I am beyond privileged to be speaking with Martin Galway @GalwayMr at this event ✨   The conference themes will explore how primary schools can harness multi-modal forms of reading - such as lyrics, films, digital tools and more - to help young learners develop the will and skill of reading.   Let's reimagine what reading can look like - and who it can reach.   📅20 March 2026 📍British Library, London 🎟️ Book your place: lnkd.in/exDitYpm   #PrimCon2026 @FocusTrust1 @Rowland1Helen @ettingera75 @Literacy_Trust @britishlibrary @MaryMyatt @eLearnMissKelly @clpe1 @MoonMaddy

A while back my son wrote a letter to @DerekLandy (and also went to a book signing) - and he’s just received a really thoughtful Christmas card from him back. I can’t tell you the excitement this has caused ♥️ thank you, Derek!

It’s safe to say I had a much needed long lie this morning and have since been on the sofa with my furbaby, Somhairle. Looking forward to next week with a big focus on the National Year of Reading, and planning next year’s conferences!

@ReadingShanahan closed #ReconstructingReading with a look to writing - and how reading informs good writers. A forward-looking conclusion to a week of insights from the forefront of literacy research - that have truly reconstructed reading in the classroom. 📚

I LOVED @ReadingShanahan's session on Reading & Writing this afternoon in a #ReconstructingReading webinar. His research, examples & justifications chime so much with all the work we do at EMC & my own thinking & practice around the vital relationship between reading & writing. 1

“Not a programme, not a script…” instead… @YoungSukKim19 underway in today’s closing keynote, defining ‘science of reading’ at @Literacy_Trust #ReconstructingReading - exploring Beyond the reading rope… already a fascinating session in a week of insight- packed sessions.
Screen grab of zoom session. Professor Kim is speaking and sharing a slide that defines the science of reading as’ the accumulated knowledge about reading development, and best practices for reading instruction obtained by the use of the scientific method.’ Citing Petcher et al 2020.
