@missbiddleteach @PieCorbett @MichaelRosenYes @PiersTorday @_Reading_Rocks_ @whatSFSaid @followtheyellow @MaryAliceEvans Yes I second Piers on the book being technology. There’s a school of thought which is under the impression that technology is only anything electronic but actually it’s anything we use to achieve an outcome: pencils, rulers, pins, paper, and books too.

We are going to hold a debate with children around the question ‘which is better, technology or books?’ Would love some author’s perspectives to share with children! @PieCorbett @MichaelRosenYes @PiersTorday @_Reading_Rocks_ @whatSFSaid @followtheyellow @MaryAliceEvans

You are in a British garden. In front of you is the end. The foxes are blistering. The birdcall is turning to dust.

You are in a British garden. Your bones are spinning. There are tulips in the birdcall. The storm is a beehive.

@digressica Jessica, your workrate is off the charts. I hope you’re taking good care of yourself as well as creating this amazing series. It’s a lot of work. Can’t wait to read it.

A wonderful essay by #KatherineRundell, reminding us all of the power of children’s stories to reteach us that: “hope counts for something.. that bravery will matter, wit will matter, empathy will matter, love will matter” We need these stories now more than ever.

Today Reader’s Quest students at Brunswick North West Primary School were thrilled to have the chance to talk to Bren MacDibble, author of the wonderful and unique RQ novel, How to Bee. Bren, thank you for your generosity, wisdom and creativity. Students loved the experience.

@PiersTorday How is it so far? I’m eager to read the new series but haven’t started.
