All Readers Great and Small

Research? Its a breath of fresh Eyre!

This week we have a chat with the fabulous Dr Jo Albin-Clark and think about reading, play and how stories shape our experiences. Jo discusses her latest research focusing on 'resistance stories' from the classroom and the ways in which teachers might think about some of the tricky choices they may face when trying to best support their children. Take a listen and let us know what you think!
