Primary Initial Teacher Training (ITT) lecturers, Michael Alcock and Christy Caddick, have created the 'The Bitesize Book Club' podcast as part of the team's ongoing promotion of children's literature for trainee teachers, as well as the wider public. 

Mike and Christy's Bitesize Book Club is a warm and insightful podcast series exploring the joys and challenges of reading in childhood.

Each bite-sized episode features personal stories about early reading experiences and practical tips for fostering a love of books in primary classrooms. Perfect for teachers, parents, and book lovers, every episode is also available as a blog post with full transcriptions for easy reference and reflection.
