I shall look forward to it. I suppose we are in an experimental varied walking phase. So much to discover.

Hi Jennifer - I reached out to you on Linked In some time back to pick up this discussion, but you may have missed it? I didn’t receive a reply. What is the best way to contact you for a fuller conversation?

Are we back in a realm of #BookRightWalletEmpty or do we need a new hashtag. Any road up, thank you and noted.

I think booktalk is such an important, sometimes underused driver of the development of spoken language in primary. Charlie would be just one (brilliant) rep of the great work of CLPE. (Mirrors EEF toolkit recs for primary if that counts here).

Shout out for some deep thinkers and doers in relation to booktalk in primary @mattobin.bsky.social @maryroche.bsky.social @primaryenglish.bsky.social @charliehacking.bsky.social and others… (replied with wrong James Clements - not sure if he is on here yet)

Happened upon this - that’s very kind Ed. Cheeky flag to watch out for the launch of our latest National Literacy Trust reading report today. Not a cheering read I am afraid.

I attended the workshop led by a colleague from YLG & the Head of Global Learning London: "Reflecting on equality in the stories we read" about how we can represent all of our community (local and wider) in our library collections, with some fab examples of high quality texts #InclusiveLibraries

Thank you so much for coming Tabitha. I’m not sure we even had the chance to speak but we should catch up soon. Yesterday was a brilliant whirl.

Quite right too (somewhat relieved mind).
