Making Effective use of Social Reading Environments

Aimed at Headteachers, Senior Leaders and reading Leaders

During this training we will explore the Open University/Reading for Pleasure research and pedagogy surrounding social reading environments:

• Reading aloud

• Informal book talk and recommendations

• Independent reading times

Throughout the training, participants will have the opportunity to create a school action plan to:

• take responsibility for and plan to develop children’s reading for pleasure;

• effectively use wider knowledge of children’s literature and other texts to enrich children’s experience and pleasure in reading;

• let children control more of their own reading and exercise their rights as readers;

• make time and space for children to explore texts in greater depth, share favourites and talk spontaneously about their reading;

• build reciprocal and interactive communities of readers;

• build and develop effective social reading environments, beyond whole school libraries.
