@DapsDraws funding was very different. There was so much hope and for a while there was a real focus on reading in general and lots on the under-fives. But cuts, parents working long hours plus the arrival of smart phones have done so much damage ☹️ 2/2

@DapsDraws The demise of Sure Start and the cuts in funding for Bookstart has been catastrophic. A long time ago I wrote a dissertation on the importance of the books for the under-fives in developing readers. It was at the infancy of Bookstart, the beginning of Blair's Britain where 1/
