(with morals for teachers of reading)

This piece was presented at a conference of Auckland principals in Auckland, New Zealand in April 2008
Thank you.  It’s great to be here.  My husband is hoping I won’t have free time to buy shoes since shoes are infinitely more [...]]]></description>

		<title>Last entry but the news goes on&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[October 14th 2007
Dear readers of the world
A funny story to start with&#8230;
In August I was at various schools in the South Australian countryside for the Premier&#8217;s Reading Challenge, a brilliant scheme run by Mike Rann, the premier (leader) of our state. One night I was interviewed on local television. The next morning, at the end [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hello again&#8230;and again!
I promise if I didn&#8217;t have a life I&#8217;d keep this website and its hot news updated daily, rather than spasmodically.  
But, astoundingly, there is a real world outside the internet in which people talk to each other face to face, again and again, and have good times and laughter, and learn [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hello again, with blushes—
I often read other people&#8217;s websites and always tut-tut if they&#8217;re out of date. So go on, feel free to tut-tut over mine. I think I last updated it in late February but I must have done something technologically stupid because I see no February entry here! The fact that I&#8217;m 61 [...]]]></description>

		<title>January 8th 2007 Happy Reading New Year!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Hello everyone!
I jumped into bed at 20 seconds to midnight on New Year&#8217;s Eve and opened the very fat novel I was reading and loving, to make sure—as Malcolm and I clinked wine glasses to welcome in the New Year—that I&#8217;d be starting off 2007 as I mean to continue: reading, reading, reading. Reading is [...]]]></description>

		<title>Christmas Eve 2006</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Merry Christmas, everyone!  
I note in our papers that much of the world, both Christian and non-Christian, is about to enjoy Christmas this year: ie ignoring the religious message but giving gifts to each other anyway, so my greeting is indeed to the whole world. 
I will be updating my Hot News properly within [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Too busy and too happy to write any news, mostly because nothing has happened apart from my education/speaking work in Australia which I absolutely adore, and a wonderful holiday on Lord Howe Island.  I have taken up bike riding again for the first time in 40 years and now have an extra excuse not [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hello, hello!
Let&#8217;s not even discuss the guilt-ridden lateness of this up-date since it wastes time. It must be obvious that if it hasn&#8217;t been done recently I must have been busy doing other things like having fun communicating with thousands of live people in the breathing world at various venues and events around Australia and [...]]]></description>
