As we get into the swing of the new academic year, I wonder what messages about reading and “being a reader” are emerging?
What does your physical environment and school ethos suggest about what it means to be a reader inside your school’s walls? Significantly, what do your staff know about the young people in front of them as readers?
At this time of year, many schools seek to establish children’s “reading ages” and comprehension capacity and then create intervention groups and set tailored targets. Fair enough – such knowledge is needed.
But teachers also need to pay attention to young people’s reading attitudes, everyday practices, and their sense of themselves as readers.
