Summary:
"This engaging text offers primary school educators a principled way forward on their mission to nurture the life-changing habit of reading in childhood. Informed and inspiring, Reading Teachers accessibly demonstrates how teachers who are motivated, engaged, and reflective readers themselves, can develop new understandings of reading for pleasure and make a difference to young learners. Drawing on a range of research evidence, including studies on: Reading Teachers, Dis/engaged Boy Readers, Student Teachers as Readers, and work with over 150 schools developing communities of readers, this book provides an accessible overview of international research alongside a highly practical classroom focus. Reading Teachers: Nurturing Reading for Pleasure enables practitioners to develop principled practice, helping all children find pleasure and purpose in reading. This book is therefore essential reading for all primary teachers, headteachers, literacy coordinators and trainee teachers"-- Provided by publisher.
