About last night… Hugely grateful to UKLA panels for this recognition of The Balancing Act & the Double Helix of Reading and Writing by Dominic Wyse & I. Being a member of the UKLA is hugely professionally nourishing & to be recognised by them in particular means so much.

James Carter UKLA Dominic Wyse Thanks James! I was actually sharing Boing! in the seminar about the paper that we did yesterday at the conference.

A real honour to write the introduction to The Poetry World of John Agard from Otter-Barry Books. I shared John’s poetry with many of the classes I be taught over the years. The book is a beautiful collection of greatest hits, edited by Charlotte Hacking

🗓️ 2026 is the year of encouraging more young people to read. Before the official launch of #NationalYearofReading2026, @literacy_trust Department for Education will bring 72,000 new books this summer to children in areas with the highest rates of child poverty. Find out more.

When you pause to ask a child what they’re learning, really learning, you remember: this work isn’t about systems. It’s about building thinkers, creators, reflectors, collaborators, adapters, imagineers - not just test-takers. It's about creating sparks. #ShineOn #BurnBrighter

Play Matters. More than ever. Over 25,000 downloads and counting. That’s not just a number, it’s a message. The sector is speaking. We’re choosing PLAY. We’re choosing CHILDREN. 🟡 Download it here: early-years-reviews.com/play-matters #PlayMatters #EarlyYears #ChildCentred #LetThemPlay
