#ThisTeacherReads: What are you reading this half-term?

Hundreds celebrate half-term with #ThisTeacherReads

1st June 2017, 11:18am

Teachers spend hours reading the weird and wonderful stories written by their pupils. While these stories may be inventive, insightful and surprising, it does limit a teacher’s ability to find the time to read the latest bestseller, long-time classic or niche novel they’ve been meaning to get around to for months.

But this week, hundreds of people are taking a stand and making that time to read - then taking to Twitter with #ThisTeacherReads to prove it.

So which books have made it on to your reading list?

So excited by the prospect of a week to spend some time reading in the sun #ThisTeacherReads @WyedeanEnglish @WyedeanLRC pic.twitter.com/O9c9wWvFyG

Enjoying ‘Anne with an E’ so much I’m re-reading the book (for the zillionth time, but it’s been quite a few years now). #thisteacherreads pic.twitter.com/Mi0VP1swcE
