A new Twitter feed to celebrate and share all things Talk for Reading! TalkforReading Pie Corbett Talk for Writing @deanatfifty jane ralphs

One of our great schools demonstrating the impact of the approach.

Haven’t posted on X in a long time but just needed to share some messages from parents. It was good to get reminders of what we do and why we do it. Seeing so many children driven out of schools and not able to manage within the system, just needed to say there’s another way

Just met Rachel selling her book 📕 n the street - giving her story wings. As a new author, it’s hard to break through but she’s determined. Looking forwards to reading the book. R.E. Brooker

Always make time to take your kids to libraries & bookshops. Always let them browse freely. These are places of magic & wonder - the places where we find the books that make us readers, and stay with us forever. These places change our lives! #literacy

The books we love when we're young change our lives forever - and so do the people who help us find those books. So here's an everlasting THANK YOU to all the amazing teachers, librarians, booksellers & everyone else out there who's helping kids find books they love! #literacy

Very excited about the reading results in our Talk for Reading schools. Incredible %s of EXS and GDS. Such a transformational approach that promotes an absolute love in reading high quality literature. More to follow…

Why read Slime when you could read these alternate books featuring more authentic representations of wheelchair users?

Instead of reading Code Name Bananas, why not check out some more superior stories set during WW2? Here’s a few the Y5 & Y6 pupils I’ve taught (and myself!) have particularly enjoyed 📚

I am absolutely stunned. Tyger is officially a bestseller in the USA!!! Huge thanks to everyone Penguin Kids Penguin Workshop for bringing Tyger to the US, to everyone Barnes & Noble for making Tyger their monthly pick, and to each & every bookseller out there for getting behind Tyger!

Here is my 8th creation for alternative reads to David Walliams, this time focusing on The Beast of Buckingham Palace. These are ones I’ve particularly enjoyed but what else would you add? Lee Newbery

This is me on BBC Breakfast last week trying to articulate that picture books are a great way to help children understand difficult subjects. Through shared reading with parents, teachers and librarians. Scholastic UK Rachel FCB Management School Library Association (SLA) tompalmer.co.uk/war-dog

At the root of talk for writing is Imitation - still grossly misunderstood and underestimated in teaching…. But it is at the very heart of learning.
