Such an amazing set of longlists for the book awards this year. I don't know how the teachers will shortlist, it was tough enough choosing the longlist!

The latest @theclpe.bsky.social #ReflectingRealities Report has just published. It’s a critical read for publishers, educators, creatives. And, this year, some of the findings are esp. concerning. Authored by Farrah Serroukh.

Here it is, folks—quite possibly the most important #ReflectingRealities report yet,as it signals a moment of uncertainty: will the industry recommit to representing all British children in their books? (Publishing houses, feel free to chime in!) @theclpe.bsky.social

Never forget: READING FOR PLEASURE has the biggest positive impact of any factor on children's life chances. So never stop sharing books with kids. Never stop reading to them, and helping them to read. Never stop changing lives. #literacy #kidlit #books
