Established in 1945, the Children’s Book Council of Australia (CBCA) is a not for profit, volunteer run, organisation which aims to engage the community with literature for young Australians. The CBCA presents annual awards to books of literary merit, for outstanding contribution to Australian children’s literature. The annual awards are an excellent way to stay up-to-date with excellent, contemporary children and young adult literature.

The Literacy Bug
Dedicated to all things literacy related.
The Literacy Bug is dedicated to all things literacy related. Originally, the site endeavoured to apply Ludwig Wittgenstein's philosophy of language to the domain of literacy. Since then, the site has evolved into something a little less esoteric and a lot more practical; we explore everyday issues pertaining to literacy teaching and learning.
So ... please say a big “HELLO” to Ludwig, The Literacy Bug, who often has his head buried deep inside a book. When he’s not reading, he takes ample opportunities to put pen to paper or fingers to keyboard to explore, speculate, report, imagine or just express in general.
Inside you will find notes, a blog, essays, teaching guides, recommended readings, links and more. We welcome you and look forward to your company. Explore and enjoy!
