Ensuring children read for pleasure and develop a
life-long love of reading is a priority for all primary school
teachers. **
**The National Curriculum focuses heavily on promoting reading for
pleasure and engaging pupils using a range of diverse and inclusive
texts and materials.
This text supports trainee teachers working towards primary QTS and
Early Career Teachers to understand the importance of supporting
children to become readers, enjoy reading for pleasure and develop
higher level reading skills. It includes guidance, case studies and
theoretical perspectives to show trainee teachers how they can develop
children's reading.
