Reviews

Underpinned by the editors' considerable research and enriched by experienced educators, this book makes a powerful argument that being a Reading Teacher does not just mean being a teacher who reads, but one who reflects on the relationships between their own reading and school reading, models what it's like to be a reader, and takes time to get to know the readers in their class. This accessible and persuasive book is a must for all beginning and experienced teachers. And of course, it is a great read. Professor Cathy Burnett, Sheffield Hallam University, UK Reading Teachers is a brilliant book that will fan the flames of the 'reading fire' and help schools nurture passionate, engaged and motivated readers. Jon Biddle, Teacher and English Leader This highly accessible book will further practitioners' understanding of effective approaches for encouraging reading for pleasure, including what it really means to be a Reading Teacher and why that is so important. The art of providing meaningful opportunities for children to become engaged, volitional readers is brought to life through real-world case-studies that cannot fail to inspire teachers and librarians whatever their school, context or role. Fiona Evans, Director of School Programmes, National Literacy Trust
