It should be on all initial teacher education programme reading lists and should be at the centre of professional discussions on how to encourage reading for pleasure in schools. In addition to demonstrating how children can come to recognise the pleasures of reading, there are plenty of issues to debate and mull over. I cannot recommend it enough.\" - \u003cem\u003eAndrew Lambirth, British Journal of Educational Studies (Vol 63, Issue 2, 2015)\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"The authors of \u003cem\u003eBuilding Communities of Engaged Readers\u003c\/em\u003e formulate an important and empirically valid argument for the significant impact of pedagogical practice and reading repertoires on pupils’ reading engagement in reading and their academic achievement.
