I totally support the National Year Of Reading. We desperately need a culture of reading for pleasure to replace the culture of constant tests in schools, backed by proper government funding. And we need STORYTIME to be part of the school day, every day! (Art @chrisriddell50)

A free virtual event for schools about #Euro2025 and how it can be used as a springboard for reading and writing this summer. Please watch here: mrdilly.com/virtual-author… @mrdillypresents
