Every month this year, I intend to give away a full class set of one book via @ANewChapterBks - I truly believe a full class set is one of the most valuable resources a teacher can have when teaching reading. No faff to enter, just retweet and consider yourself in. January.

Word of the day is ‘recrudescence’ (17th century): the return of something terrible after a time of reprieve.

A final thought: however difficult the last few days have been, it simply doesn’t compare to having to flee your home from persecution or war to seek refuge in a land far away. It’s heartwarming to have seen the empathy towards their plight from so many of you. 3/4

One of things we're doing on #WorldBookDay is discussing Daniel Pennac's The Rights of the Reader and then creating our own version together as a class. The last time we did it, the children had some amazing suggestions. 'The right to feel emotional when reading' is fantastic.
