Did your school encourage a life-long love of reading?
Children who identify as readers are three times more likely to have good mental wellbeing. A reading culture that permeates a school can transform it into a space where reading is supported, encouraged, normalised and valued. Creating a Reading Culture in Primary and Secondary Schools will help teachers and librarians to:
- advocate for the importance of a whole-school reading culture with recent research in this field
- select from a number of research-supported strategies underpinning a whole-school reading culture to tailor your school's approach according to resourcing and priorities
- develop a clear trajectory for building and sustaining stakeholder engagement and resourcing, including securing external funding for related initiatives
- plan and manage a multi-faceted approach to enable real change within your school
Drawing on the author's internationally-recognised experience in this field, this book will be essential reading for anyone looking to develop reading in schools.
