Clara Corner

Hi everyone! Welcome to Clara's Corner, hosted by Clara Fiorentini!. Children's literature is one of Clara's biggest passions, so we're delighted for you to tune in. Each month Clara is going to review and recommend three gorgeous texts on our blogpost called Clara's Corner. Here she'll share some suggestions for extension activities to suit the classroom and some things to try if you’re reading at home. We look forward to sharing lots of great recommendations with you over the coming months. Happy reading!
