A long-term commitment to improving children’s life chances through inspiring them to read and to ensure reading is at the heart of its provision for all children.
The project
This three-year project is aimed at growing a team of expert, engaged teachers to develop their practice and knowledge of reading aloud and its impact. Through six online workshops, the programme will focus on:
- The reading for pleasure research and pedagogy
- Teacher knowledge of children’s literature, poetry and non-fiction
- Teachers as readers
- Children’s reading lives
- How to grow an authentic reading for pleasure practice
- Diversity in books – does our book stock reflect our children’s lives?
- How to read aloud with prosody
- The impact of prosody on comprehension
