Our Talk Through Stories training with @NickRMT was a sell-out and went down a storm!
Loved the feedback:
✨ “Changed my whole mindset on reading.”
✨ “Vital for building vocabulary so children thrive.”
Any school can join our free training, more courses on our website!

Our latest research supported by @twinklresources, shows writing for pleasure among children & young people is at an all-time low, with worrying long-term impacts on learning.
We’re committed to championing writing for pleasure in a digital-first world.

ALT graphic reads: "In 2025, only 1 in 4 children and young people (aged 8-18) said they enjoy writing in their free time. Only 1 in 10 children and young people (aged 8-18) write something daily in their free time.

People sometimes say kids don't read any more. But I'm always amazed by the excitement you see on author visits, especially #WorldBookDay. Give kids free choice of what to read, let them follow their excitement wherever it leads - and THEY STILL LOVE BOOKS!

Happy #WorldBookDay everyone! The books we love when we're young are the ones that make us readers, and change our lives FOREVER. So whatever else you do, please never stop reading books with kids, and encouraging them to read. There is nothing more important! #WorldBookDay2025

This World Book Day, we're celebrating everything you do all year round to inspire your children to love reading. Why not give some of our tips a go when preparing for your next storytime? Have a wonderful day!

Well-meaning adults can easily crush a child's enthusiasm for reading by dismissing their choices, saying a book is no good. By all means introduce them to books you think are good - but let them READ FOR PLEASURE & they'll be readers forever! #literacy

Why do books matter? Because books open eyes & hearts & minds. They can show us the world in a different light, helping us imagine other lives. Books can connect us, bringing us together, building bridges in a world of walls. They are the greatest empathy engines ever invented.
