Opis

We hear too often that kids don't read any more: Kenny Pieper thinks it should be every teacher's mission to prove this isn't true. In a squeezed curriculum it can be tempting to accept pupils' lack of reading and make excuses that there is not enough time to devote to the 'luxury' of personal reading, but teachers do this at their peril. Reading is essential to literacy development as well as being a skill, hobby and habit that we can take with us forever. The benefits we can all reap when kids become confident readers who read for pleasure are obvious. Kenny Pieper has gathered a range of tried-and-tested strategies to get kids reading, and enjoying it. Discover strategies which will get kids talking about books, get them thinking about books, get them reading books, encourage independent reading, develop literacy skills and establish a classroom culture where reading is expected and celebrated. Suitable for upper primary and secondary teachers, leaders and SENCOs.
