Another headline grab - what’s needed are funded librarians in every primary school how else do we foster a love of reading and widen exposure to a wide and diverse range of books. Stop pretending school libraries are important to the government
More than 20 school libraries will receive £200,000 funding to deliver projects focused on anti-racism and equality.
Education Secretary @JennyGilruth made the announcement during a visit to @AnnetteStreetPS in Glasgow.

🌟 Book Review 🌟
Mastering emotions can be tricky. But this collection of imaginative poems can give children the vocabulary to process how they are feeling. An Emotional Menagerie is an emotional glossary for children, filled with 26 carefully written rhyming poems, arranged alphabetically. This stunning hardback book, will help guide children and teach them different ways of dealing with whatever emotion they are feeling and give them the ability to communicate how they are feeling in order to become more calm and fulfilled.
Each poem, beautifully compares emotions to animals so children will be able to relate to the feeling and emotion described. Stunning, colourful illustrations by @RachaeISaunders bring the whole book to life.
This book is a must to help support children with emotional literacy in a fun, meaningful and joyous way. A perfect accompaniment to What Are You Feeling?

The Adrien Prize is officially open for submissions and let me just gently remind people that we will not be selecting books where the disabled character dies.
These stories are told again and again, and that's fine. If that's how you want your disabled characters.
We don't.
Fabulous give away, the OU’s Reading for Pleasure is great, their course also taught me a lot.
