Promote a Love for Reading
This is a brilliant blog post of simple tips to encourage a love for reading in your classroom.
My favourites are:
1) You’ll never guess what I’m reading right now?
2) Tell me what you’re reading now? What’s it about? What made you pick it up? Can you tell me about your favourite illustration?
3) Well, that’s reading too isn’t it? It doesn’t have to be a book! Of course, you can bring your comic or magazine in to show me!
10) You should go and chat to… I know they like the same books as you too!
11) Why don’t you see if you can pop down to the library at the weekend? They will be able to help you find something you might like. If you can’t, I’ll try and help!
19) It’s fine to put it to one side – I often come back to books when I have more time!
21) Would you recommend what you’re reading to anyone? Who? Why? Why not?
