several resources on importance of reading and school libraries

Huge repository of videos and ideas for use in primary classrooms.  From the UK.  Here's the description: "The Literacy Shed is home to a wealth of visual resources that I have collected over my 10 year career as a primary school teacher.   I trawl youtube, vimeo and other sites looking for suitable resources to use in the sheds. The sheds are broadly thematic but sometimes a resource could go in 2 or more sheds, I slot it in where I think it works best. Most of the resources can be used in KS1 and KS2 but some do lend themselves to the upper age group and above. The aim is to provide high quality resources that can be used in stand alone literacy lessons, can form the basis for a whole literacy unit or can support literacy units that you already have in place.   With the many book based activities I would advocate using the book alongside the digital resource.  "

Hi Susie. Thanks so much for this link. The article about Twitter-based PD is useful, AND Nikki Robertson seems like a good person to follow for wider PD as well. PLEASE continue sharing in this forum - after all, you should have more time to read and curate the best sources for the rest of us. :) ~ Margaret
