The power of a good interviewer is evident in the quality of the responses - and our @patronofreading @DanFreedman99 answered our kids' superb questions magnificently! A great two way session @Fortismere_Sch - our Y7s were entertained, inspired and very happy
Nush and the Stolen Emerald by @jasinbath (front cover by David Dean) is a fantastically exciting adventure story set in Jaisalmer and London during the 19th century. Touches on many areas, family dynamics, equality, colonialism, with a very deft touch. A great book for Y5/6.
Off to @sirdonaldbailey today on a @patronofreading visit to work with KS1, sell my new book (not to KS1), and work with the incredible @PrimaryChamp!

Love @ImogenM16's fantastic example of practice 'Graphic Novels are Real Books!' on the @OpenUni_RfP site. Improving teacher knowledge of them is essential and her school have worked really hard to do it. Lots of good ideas to take away. Do have a read. ourfp.org/eop/graphic-no…

There's a lot of truth in this thread. Some authors love doing school visits, many don't. It's an entirely different set of skills. However, visits to schools are often the only way that a lot of children's writers can afford to keep writing and it really shouldn't be like that.

I've spent time today updating my #ReadingForPleasure Padlet with some new bits and pieces (articles, ideas for staff meetings, teaching resources, book recommendations for assemblies, etc). Hopefully it's of use to people. All shares appreciated! padlet.com/Jon_Biddle/rea…
Just finished writing an article about the importance of reading aloud to children and how essential it is to find the right book. Took the chance to update the list below with more of my current favourites to share with Key Stage Two. uk.bookshop.org/lists/key-stag…
The children in our school are looking forward to the publication of this book. They had a little preview and input into the design of the cover. Lovely to see that @GarethBakerPoR our @patronofreading and the illustrator, Vicky Kuhn implemented some of their advice.

Just love this. It shows the impact that poets and illustrators visiting schools can have.

Pleased to see my new #poetry book @Foyles Charing X Rd from @OtterBarryBooks 🌈🌈🌈 #poem #FFBteachers #librarytwitter #edutwitter #TVTTagTeam #teachertwitter @patronofreading #poetrylovers #poetrytwitter #poemS #poetrycommunity #WritingCommunity @reading_realm @kidspoetsummit
Hooray! It's about time we had another book by the amazing @emcarrollauthor. Love the front cover from @DJTerrazzini. This comes out in the summer. #TheHoudiniInheritance
A few years ago, one of our pupils took part in the CLiPPA poetry award (organised by @clpe1) and performed at the National Theatre. Her mum told me recently it was highlight of her entire time at primary school. Do sign up to shadow this year's awards: clpe.org.uk/poetry/CLiPPA
I love these! They would look amazing in any school library or classroom.

6K Followers 3K Following Triple threat to cake. Also, award-winning author of the GREAT FOX series with @WalkerBooksUK. THE GREAT FOX REVEALED (out in October) Agent: @thestormboyThe power of a good interviewer is evident in the quality of the responses - and our @patronofreading @DanFreedman99 answered our kids' superb questions magnificently! A great two way session @Fortismere_Sch - our Y7s were entertained, inspired and very happy
Nush and the Stolen Emerald by @jasinbath (front cover by David Dean) is a fantastically exciting adventure story set in Jaisalmer and London during the 19th century. Touches on many areas, family dynamics, equality, colonialism, with a very deft touch. A great book for Y5/6.
Off to @sirdonaldbailey today on a @patronofreading visit to work with KS1, sell my new book (not to KS1), and work with the incredible @PrimaryChamp!

Love @ImogenM16's fantastic example of practice 'Graphic Novels are Real Books!' on the @OpenUni_RfP site. Improving teacher knowledge of them is essential and her school have worked really hard to do it. Lots of good ideas to take away. Do have a read. ourfp.org/eop/graphic-no…

There's a lot of truth in this thread. Some authors love doing school visits, many don't. It's an entirely different set of skills. However, visits to schools are often the only way that a lot of children's writers can afford to keep writing and it really shouldn't be like that.
There is no such thing as a children's writer any more, I think. The role has changed to performer and communicator charismatic and able enough to deliver to (usually) private schools a meaningful experience based on a book they have had published. The book is the smallest part.
I've spent time today updating my #ReadingForPleasure Padlet with some new bits and pieces (articles, ideas for staff meetings, teaching resources, book recommendations for assemblies, etc). Hopefully it's of use to people. All shares appreciated! padlet.com/Jon_Biddle/rea…
Just finished writing an article about the importance of reading aloud to children and how essential it is to find the right book. Took the chance to update the list below with more of my current favourites to share with Key Stage Two. uk.bookshop.org/lists/key-stag…
The children in our school are looking forward to the publication of this book. They had a little preview and input into the design of the cover. Lovely to see that @GarethBakerPoR our @patronofreading and the illustrator, Vicky Kuhn implemented some of their advice.
