I might not have a class anymore but when an Emma Carroll @emmac2603 book comes out you've got to go to your local indie and order a copy. When I next see you Emma, you'll have to sign it for me. Can't waIt to dive in.

It's important to spend time creating a decent reading environment in a classroom but it's infinitely more important to spend time reading the books that feature in it. Being able to talk about them with passion is what will get the kids reading them, not the fairy lights.

This is slightly old news -as in 12 years old! 😉But it’s worth the headline the signal boost the documentary #Silenced this Tuesday 9pm on @BBCTwo which explores the history behind systemic ableism and prejudice towards the disabled community.
