Good luck to all the authors doing World Book Day visits this coming week! I’ve made us a bingo card. First one to get all nine wins a ten-page form which finance suddenly reveal you must complete before they’ll pay your invoice! Happy travels!

We have 10 texts to choose from - each carefully selected so that, whether in Reception or Yr 6, children will enjoy the themes explored + make meaningful writing progress. Written outcomes are ‘at pitch’ for each stage, providing opportunities for revision, catch-up and extension where it's needed.

Kicking off the New Year with a jam-packed half-day INSET led by @literacypippa.bsky.social #NewYearNewLiteracy Pippa discussed our #TeachThroughaText pedagogy, using 'The Wilderness' (by Steve McCarthy) as an example. Teachers even had a go at some of the short writing outcomes for this book!
