Improved Reading Habits & Attitudes
“children couldn’t wait to read...it was so nice
to see children bringing in books to share with
us and the class”
( Teachers from UK)
Complete an audit in order to pinpoint areas for development and compare
views on the reading ethos within school as assumptions can sometimes be
made rather than judgements being informed through research
Inform parents of the programme and encourage their support. Workshops
for parents would be helpful
Invest in a high quality school library that stocks books chosen by pupils and
staff to increase engagement
Set up reading clubs for pupils based on the reading cafe model as a whole
school policy
Encourage and promote reading events for pupils, staff and parents. For
example, world book day dressing up events, extreme reading competitions,
wall of books
