Share a Story – Shape a Future, A Blog Tour for Literacy: Day 4
Today is the last day of the fantastic Share a Story – Shape a Future blog tour of the kidlitosphere that draws on the expertise of “teachers, librarians, parents, and people passionate about literacy”. Each day a selection of bloggers has shared ideas around a given theme: and every one of their posts has been a mine of information – so don’t miss it! Here’s the programme for today (and of course, these great articles will be available to read for a while to come yet):
