Libraries will be a vital source for children in overcoming the learning barriers caused by COVID-19. Our research shows that children and young people who use the school library have, on average, higher mental wellbeing scores than those don't. @CILIPinfo

Turning on subtitles while children are watching TV can double their chances of becoming proficient readers. It's a quick, simple and free way to make TV time, reading time.

What #WorldBookDay is all about...
World Book Day celebrates the chance to change lives through a love of books and shared reading. Whether you're discovering your first book, or your shelves are full, we know that sharing stories for ten minutes a day makes a big difference.📚
We have been advising students to do this for years @CockshutHillSch , we are a school that likes to be ahead of the curve. #nothingbutthebest #readingforpleasure This is a great tip for EAL students too. #Birminghamschools Warning, once you start you can't stop. #subtitleaddict
COVID-19 has impacted millions of children's literacy, but recent studies have shown that watching TV with subtitles on can double the chances of children becoming proficient readers, and it's completely free! turnonthesubtitles.org/paren… #edutwitter #TurnOnTheSubtitles
