104-year-old Kuttiyamma from Kottayam has scored 89/100 in the Kerala State Literacy Mission’s test. Age is no barrier to enter the world of knowledge. With utmost respect and love, I wish Kuttiyamma and all other new learners the best. #Literacy

My 9yo told me there's a new 6yo Afghan boy at school who doesn't speak much English and he (my son) has been designated his reading buddy. My son read him a story and the boy repeated words he recognised like 'cat' and 'dog'. When they finished the story, he hugged my son.

Chairing an inquiry into Children Affected by Parental Incarceration. It has been fascinating and heartbreaking. We've met with parents in prison who often had parents in prison. We must do better or we just keep spending billions on prisons #springst parliament.vic.gov.au/lsic-lc/articl…

Last week myself and Focal president Denise Jepson spoke at the Inquiry into children affected by parental incarceration Parliament of Victoria The children are often the forgotten ones when it comes to incarceration - hopefully this Inquiry will give them a voice.

Why read books? Because books let us see the world through other eyes. They are the greatest EMPATHY ENGINES ever invented. #literacy (Art: chris riddell)
