Description
Book SynopsisThis essential book discusses what reading for pleasure is and what it is not, introducing some fundamental ideas about how we learn to read and how this process can impact on a childâs identity as a reader in classrooms that promote equality, inclusion and diversity.
The profile and importance of Reading for Pleasure has grown significantly over the last few years and is now firmly embedded in both government policy and the Ofsted framework. Developing a Reading for Pleasure school that is truly inclusive of the whole school community, however, can require a culture shift in relation to the teaching of reading, representation in the reading environment and the knowledge, and attitudes of the school community.
