Following the significant data around the reduction in pupils reading independently/ choosing to read (31% in year 7) or interested in reading.
The session will look at “Getting Kids to Like books” and how to create a culture of reading in the school and in the classroom. Using current Evidence around Reading for Pleasure the session will look at 3 key aspects.
1) School Ethos around reading (What is reading in your schools?)
2) Classroom Culture/ routines (Getting kids to talk about books)
3) The book offer. (What do children read with the teacher / the spine/ the barriers/the choices you offer/ What choices can they make about their reading?)
