I LOVE children’s books. Charlie and Lola are firm favourites. I love the Paddington Bear books (obviously). I also absolutely adore the Ruby Red Shoes series as well. This profile of the Ruby Red Shoes author popped up today on one of my favourite websites, The Grace Tales, (click on the link below). Highly recommend! Reading a range of children’s books is so important to develop vocabulary. In low decile schools they have a project called ‘the 100’ where they aim to expose children to 100 books being read to them in one year as without that exposure to language children find it hard to progress their literacy skills.
