POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Over the weekend I was part of the @aleaaustralia national conference. I live illustrated two panel sessions including one on ‘Equity and Student Voice’ and another on ‘Creating Communities Through Literature’ with Australian Children’s Laureate @andygbooks

What an amazing thing to see so much passion and knowledge about literacy and education in one place! There were many take aways from the conference that I wish all educators and educational policy makers could hear.

For my own part I am a big believer that any school, community or government that wants to improve literacy needs to look hard at what they are doing with literature. Building a stronger and more diverse literary culture in this country is possible but it requires so much more from every level. Parents, schools, government. Kids choosing books to read widely for pleasure is possible.

We’ve always seen ourselves as a “sporty” country and we invest so much at every level in sports. But we can also be a “literary” country and an “creative and innovative” country if we start thinking and investing in those things more too.

I’ve seen lots of cookbooks being posted lately, and I’m always surprised (and somewhat happy) to see new cookbooks being published and for sale. Just goes to show that people still love books, and we are not all relying on finding recipes online.

Thanks to a post by @raisingwildreaders about the importance of cookbooks for helping children with their reading, I unearthed my much loved copy of HOW TO EAT: THE PLEASURES AND PRINCIPLES OF GOOD FOOD by the iconic goddess of the kitchen, Nigella Lawson. This is more than just a book of recipes. Nigella explains how each one of the collection should be enjoyed, their role in her life and some wonderful advice for running your kitchen in an organised manner.

This book is a joy to read as she writes with such a refreshingly honest approach to food, as if you are there in the kitchen with her. Probably my favourite quote from the book comes from the introduction: “You could probably get through life without knowing how to roast a chicken, but the question is, would you want to?”

Think I’ll have to get that roast chook happening soon.

A stray ink splodge. A folded corner. A faded page. A handwritten envelope, sealed with wax. 💌 These are the tiny details that make The Lost Letters feel real for young readers—like the letters have travelled through time, carrying the stories of the past.

At The Lost Letters, we put a lot of effort into ensuring these little imperfections are present to bring history off the page and into young hands. Because history doesn’t have to be just something to read—it can be something to hold, see, and feel ✨ #kidshistory #kidswhoread #australianhistory #thelostletters #snailmail #bringinghistorytolife
