It's #WorldBookDay - but why is reading and sharing stories so valuable for children, anyway? This is why 👇 booktrust.org.uk/what-we-do/…
Photos of a girl in a classroom looking at a book; a baby squealing with delight while looking at a picture book; and a woman and toddler smiling while sharing a book. Plus the words: "Reading supports children to... Meet speech and language milestones and do better at school; Overcome disadvantage; Develop imagination, empathy and creativity; Develop better mental wellbeing, social skills and strong relationships'

We love that this year @worldbookdayuk is championing children’s reading choices, encouraging everyone to Read Your Way! We couldn't agree more with them that every reader is different, and there’s no right or wrong way to enjoy reading 🙌 #WorldBookDay

Parent carers face increased risk of mental & physical problems, prioritising the well-being of their children & neglecting their needs. This autumn our Parent support team are leading a transformational course to improve the well-being of parent carers: buff.ly/3VJp41e

As #NationalBrailleWeek ends, we ask Graham, @TPTgeneral Tech Officer why he finds #braille useful. He said: "Many products, particularly medicines, have braille labels. Learning basic braille is useful even if you can only read it slowly.” Do you use braille? Let us know.

"Instead of telling a parent carer, 'wow, I don't know how you cope!', say: 'wanna go for cuppa?' or 'we should chat more'..." 👇 If you're struggling and nobody around you understands how you feel, talk to one of our parent carers for advice and support: contact.org.uk/listening-ear

With the school year in full swing, now is the ideal time to sign a child up to the #Library. That's because research evidence suggests regular library use can help children settle in and succeed at school. Find out more about our #ReadyToLearn campaign. librariesconnected.org.uk/pa…

There's a kind of magic that happens when a child falls in love with a book! It's the kind of magic that changes lives forever, and will never be forgotten. Every child deserves to experience the magic of reading for pleasure. #literacy (Art: Quentin Blake)
