I've said this before, but I'll keep saying it until it's government policy. Reading for pleasure should be at the heart of education. If we want kids to love reading & enjoy all its benefits – we must LET THEM READ THINGS THEY LOVE! #literacy (Art: Bill Watterson)

I’m looking for links to articles about ‘reading wordless picture books’ and the ‘importance of illustration in books for older readers’. Any help will be much appreciated! #ukedchat #edchat #kidlit #PictureBooks
