@Quest_Learning had a great evening at the Didcot @PowerhouseFund quiz last night ... but the big question is, were we good enough to get through to the final?! #charity #community #local

Being able to read isn't just essential for day to day tasks, it's also known to have a host of other benefits - including boosting happiness & health! For more info about the benefits of reading, check out BookTrust's website bit.ly/48RQS77 #InternationalDayofHappiness

Reading to your child at any point in the day is a great thing to do, but a bedtime story can be a very special time together - so on #WorldSleepDay, we thought we'd gather some of QfL's favourite bedtime stories - about bedtime! #readingforpleasure #literacy

Yesterday was #tellafairytaleday - and the QfL teaching team know that taking a well known story and telling it in a fresh way is often great way to engage and excite reluctant readers. A recent addition to the BookQuest library is this fantastic version of an old favourite!

Covering core costs is always a challenge for small charities, so a heartfelt thank you to the Stanton Ballard Charitable Trust for their support - enabling us to continue our work with disadvantaged children across Oxfordshire, improving literacy and numeracy. #FundersFriday

QfL's Teaching Coordinator is looking forward to hearing the @TheNFER policy suggestions for the main political parties on how to tackle the critical issue of persistent education disadvantage. Looks like a great panel @suttontrust @jrf_uk @csjthinktank nfer.ac.uk/events/disadva…

It's #LoveYourPetDay so we thought we'd rummage on the QfL bookshelves and find some of our favourite pet themed books - and discovered that pets come in all shapes and sizes, from dogs and cats to dragons and...potatoes! @JoshLaceybooks @RaintreePub

It's not just #ValentinesDay - it's also #BookGivingDay! Learning how to read is a skill that some children find incredibly hard - and they may never learn to ❤️ books. Could you help us support those children in Oxfordshire? bit.ly/47whtXy

Did you know cooking with your children is a great way to improve their maths? So, this #pancakeday why not get them to help out with the measuring and weighing? Want to challenge them further? Ask them to work out how to halve or double the amounts! #everydaymaths
