Just got back from a poetry and percussion show at Manor School in Uckfield where the queue to buy books and have them signed stretched round the hall and out the door. Thanks to everyone for a great visit. Enjoy the books.

Terrific afternoon at St. Katharine's Primary School, Knockholt yesterday, with Sarah Pakenham from
@Scallywagpress for the launch of "I Am Ray's Imaginary Friend. Children were so well prepared, so attentive and enthusiastic. Many books sold too which is always a plus!

A taster morning with a really exceptional school - a giant story rope ready for invention - one of this schoolās strengths - childrenās own, independent writing and oral composition. Have a great day!
Different room, same great vibes.
Looking forward to the last @Talk4Writing Taster Morning of this academic year at @SandgateTfW.
Today, we're inventing.

The Faster Read research shows reading aloud from beautiful, complex texts transforms outcomes, especially for pupils w lower starting points. "Above pay grade" material works.
High challenge, low threat. Name difficulty. Reduce the fear. Invite pupils into demanding work
