Never on here these days, so doubt this will be seen, but I'm doing the Barnes Kids Lit School programme this year. 4th of June. Free to attend, schools just need to sign up via the Barnes Kids Lit website.
It's for Y5 & Y6 and completely free of charge.
RTs appreciated!

My new book, Primary Reading Simplified, is released this Monday (27th January).
Briefly, I'd like to explain why it exists, who I think will find it useful and where you can find it.

Teachers, can I make a book recommendation for a 'boy heavy' class? Just choose a brilliant novel and read it well. The whole class will be enthralled. #readingforpleasure
