Reading for Pleasure: Building the foundations in your school. A booklet & PowerPoint

(0)
This booklet and PowerPoint presentation aim to provide practical ideas on how to develop a strategic approach to motivate pupils to read. The 2023 Government Reading Framework advocated a strategic approach to nurturing a reading habit rather than relying on an eclectic mix of activities. Theses resources include developing a R4P pedagogy, giving staff time to develop their knowledge of texts, providing space and time to read and chat about books, providing access to diverse texts,monitoring attitudes and behaviours during R4P time and building reading communities. Use it alongside my other R4P resources available at TES Aimed at Primary and Middle Schools Contents Laying the foundations for a R4P culture: an overview Building a R4P culture: put into practice Next steps: an action plan Next steps: actions Book awards Disengaged and disadvantaged readers Reading Pledge template
