Thank you to @MrGilmour for this special #BookWeekScotland edition of #FiveFactFriday! Happy Friday and Happy Reading!πβ€οΈπ#BookWeekScot

ALT @BishopbriggsAC #FiveFactFriday #BookWeekScotland J.K. Rowling was rejected by around twelve publishers before Bloomsbury accepted Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. International research shows that pupils who read for pleasure - even for just 15 minutes a day - tend to achieve better results in their exams. The most expensive book ever sold at auction is Leonardo da Vinci's Codex Leicester, which sold for $30.8 million in 1994. ISBN is an acronym for International Standard Book Number and is a unique identifier for books, currently issued in a 13-digit format. In 1929, author J.M. Barrie gifted the copyright of Peter Pan to Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH), ensuring they receive all subsequent UK royalties.

Experts say teachers should be teaching each other more.
In a world of shrinking budgets, examples of effective use of time and resources like this need a closer look. π
Thanks @BoclairAcademy @EDCouncil @1MaryKerr for the open doors.
