The aim of Michael Rosen Day, on 12th November, is to 'make reading, listening to, and writing poetry fun, enjoyable and accessible for all'. Purple Mash has a range of resources to celebrate the day in your school.

How can we encourage children to read more? During the National Year of Reading, discover how following children's interests can inspire a love of reading. Explore practical tips for teachers and parents, and find out how the Purple Mash Library helps children discover books they love at school and at home.

At 2Simple we want to help by raising awareness of International Literacy Day and the importance of young people gaining those valuable literacy and language skills that are needed throughout life.

Here we look at just some of the resources available within Mini Mash that can help young learners engage with literacy and enjoy it for life.

Tutors: teach engaging reading sessions all summer long with an array of resources in the Purple Mash Library, included as part of your subscription to Purple Mash. Get top tips and ideas for fun reading lessons in this blog.
