As both an English teacher and children’s author, parents often ask me how to get their kids reading. First question: do you read? The answer’s usually no.

We are back on the The Island of Brilliant This time we are talking all things #Greenwild with the remarkable Pari Thomson Shout outs too to Maisie Chan - Nate Yu's Blast From the Past author and some gushing about the much-missed Kate Saunders ...

It’s #DisabilityPrideMonth and I’m SO proud to be a disabled children’s author. To celebrate it’s time for a ✨#GIVEAWAY✨ To win the complete COSIMA UNFORTUNATE series all you have to do is like this post! (Feel free to share it as well, the more entries the merrier!)

There are so many brilliant children's books out there - but we know that it can be a bit overwhelming. That's why every month we select our favourite new reads, all sorted into age categories. Find July's selection here: booktrust.org.uk/book-recommend…

As the year draws to a close, I'm sharing my Y6 reading folder (though there are some random bits in like some Y2 lessons) for free, which is full of Y6 whole class reading lessons. drive.google.com/drive/folders/… Plus my (very long) blog on how we teach it: mrboothy6.wordpress.com/2025/01/03/who…

We're THRILLED to see Lindsay Galvin THE GREAT PHOENIX OF LONDON🐦‍🔥's #TheElixir, illus. by kristina kister, chosen as The Times and The Sunday Times Children's BOTW 🥳 Thank you Lucy Bannerman! "An intriguing, unconventional story that spans themes of science, alchemy and witch trials within just 120 pages."

Exciting to see announcement of #YearofReading🌟 . I believe the work of EmpathyLabUK can add a vital new ingredient into a national drive to encourage children’s reading. Looking forward to redoubling all our efforts- National Literacy Trust Department for Education Teresa Cremin Jon Biddle

“Go with what the children want.” Next year will see a 'reading revolution', according to the National Literacy Trust, declaring 2026 a 'year of reading'. Children's author Michael Rosen tells #R4Today how he thinks we can get kids to pick up a book.

People interested in the National Year of Reading may find my little booklet on 'Reading for Pleasure' useful. #NationalYearOfReading

A great collection of poems on the subject of nature, I Hear the Trees by Zaro Weil, illustrated by Junli Song, is out now for 5-7 readers but will be enjoyed by those a bit older too. 🌱 Hachette Children's Group worldssmallestlibrary.wordpress.com/2025/07/07/i-h…

I totally support the National Year Of Reading. We desperately need a culture of reading for pleasure to replace the culture of constant tests in schools, backed by proper government funding. And we need STORYTIME to be part of the school day, every day! (Art chris riddell)

Good news re the National Year of Reading 2026! ⭐️ Department for Education and National Literacy Trust - ⭐️ Reading connects us all - looking forward to it! ⭐️⭐️ ⭐️⭐️ ⭐️⭐️

It's here! 😀 Noughts & Crosses is playing at the Regent's Park Open Air Theatre until 26 July. And the weather forecast for the next several days is NO RAIN!😄 I'm planning on seeing this more than once - bad knee permitting. Hope to see you there. 😊 openairtheatre.com/production/nou…

This couldn't be more timely. Reading for pleasure opens so many doors. I wouldn't be writing this now as an author if I hadn't acquired the reading for pleasure habit as a young child. Reading for pleasure adds salt and seasoning to life!
