Was out yesterday but here’s my thoughts: ✅Give children agency to choose the books they want to read. No judgement. ✅ Also make the reading environment fun. Don’t make it a chore. Children’s books are MAGICAL - how can we make reading magical too? ✅ More libraries.

Report finds ‘shocking and dispiriting’ fall in children reading for pleasure theguardian.com/books/2024/nov…
