Upcoming training sessions

What is Book Discovery?

Research suggests a rich and wide knowledge of contemporary children's literature and other texts can help those working with children and young people to nurture reading for pleasure. These sessions are also suitable for those engaging with our Reading Schools programme (Key areas 1.2.4 and 1.2.5 for those using the Reading Schools framework).

Check back soon for new CLPL opportunities, and have a look at our learning and resources page for ideas and past recordings of webinars.
