The world needs unapologetically neurodivergent characters": Elle McNicoll on creating a character with Dyspraxia Having a representative range of literature in schools is essential for children to see themselves on the shelves. This requires careful consideration of the diversity of people and places portrayed, including representation of age, disability, gender, race, religion and belief, sexual orientation and socioeconomic status. Teachers should be knowledgeable and have a deep understanding about the books to ensure authentic and respectful representation. By doing so, inclusion and diversity become an integral part of the curriculum rather than a tokenistic gesture. Reading Classrooms

Academic staff whose main focus is essential teaching, educational needs, and for senior grades, often pedagogic research: Are reading corners limiting children's exposure to books? That's what I think and so, I suggest a simple solution: it's time to move beyond the traditional reading corner and create reading classrooms. Instead of having one designated area for reading, teachers can make books accessible throughout the room to encourage a love of reading. But it's not just about putting books all over the place. Teachers need to carefully consider the placement, accessibility and variety of books to create an inclusive reading environment. Consequently, they can encourage children to encounter books naturally and choose to read for further enjoyment. Senior Readership Team

However, fostering a love of reading can be challenging, especially considering recent research which indicates that reading for pleasure among children is currently at its lowest level in eighteen years. It’s never too early to start reading aloud to children. Being read to allows children to become familiar with, and to recognise, the language patterns and voices that they hear and they begin to use this to make sense of the world around them. Reading aloud to children is the first step in building a reading culture where books and stories are shared together and helps to create a lifelong reading habit. Building a reading link between school and home is an effective way of sustaining a love of reading. Reading is a great way to bring families together to share books. Teachers and schools have a part to play in helping and encouraging families to recognise this. Reading together on the sofa, sharing bedtime stories, visiting a bookshop or library or taking part in the Summer Reading Challenge are just some ways of spending quality time with each other.

We're fortunate to live in a golden age of children's literature where it’s more diverse and inclusive than ever before, and it's incredibly important to expose children to this range of books. A balanced reading diet should include a variety of genres, from recent releases to classics, in fiction, non-fiction, poetry, picture books and graphic novels, as well as magazines, newspapers, comics and other reading materials. Teachers can also provide alternative formats, such as dyslexia-friendly and super readable books, audiobooks and eBooks, which can be adapted to suit individual needs using technology. It's equally essential to recognise that reading can happen anywhere, not just in the classroom. Reading Representation You've heard our suggestions – now we'd love you to tell us yours! Do you know the perfect book for a fan of the stories written by Elle McNicoll? A Different Sort of Normal by Abigail Balfespeaks so much to me.Being neurodivergent, I’ve always felt difficulty in describing my ways of thinking, being and doing, and this book has helped me to learn more about myself and to look at my life in a different way, and I know it will do the same for so many others who feel similarly. Bursting with life through the sketches and speech bubbles of Abigail who spent most of her life not knowing she was autistic, and who was diagnosed at the age of thirty-three, she describes how she views the world, explains things she finds confusing or challenging, and shares strategies she has developed to help deal with stressful situations. This makes it an essential book for autistic and allistic (non-autistic) readers of all ages, including adults.In 2021, the University of Cambridge introduced a new structure. The academic rank structure is superseded by the new structure. [4] Reformed academic rank structure of the University of Cambridge In most universities, professorships are reserved for only the most senior academic staff, and other academics are generally known as ' lecturers', ' senior lecturers' and ' readers' (in some Commonwealth countries such as Australia, New Zealand and South Africa, the title 'associate professor' can be used instead of 'reader' [2]). In some countries, senior lecturers are generally paid the same as readers, but the latter title is awarded primarily for research excellence, and traditionally carries higher prestige. Traditionally, heads of departments and other senior academic leadership roles within a university were undertaken by professors.

In the United Kingdom and Ireland the term 'professor' is properly and in formal situations given to singing and instrumental tutors in the music colleges / conservatories of music, usually the older and more august ones: The Royal College of Music, Royal Academy of Music, Trinity College of Music. The expression has become almost obsolete for singing and instrumental tuition in the universities. The same convention applies throughout Europe in the National Colleges of Music.
