Hello and welcome to my stop on the blog tour for 100 Ideas for Primary Teachers: Reading for Pleasure by Scott Evans! Check out the rest of the tour below.
100 ideas for Primary Teachers: Reading for Pleasure is filled with practical ideas from the Reader Teacher, Scott Evans, proven to help support encouragement of young readers’ love of reading.
Author Scott Evans, the Reader Teacher, is a fantastic member of the education community who promotes a range of diverse and rich literature. I really rate his 100 books for each year group resource and so I was delighted to be asked to read and review this book. Filled with easy to follow and practical ideas, Scott’s book is based on the Reading Roadmap (a five point framework) with simple steps to promote reading for pleasure, not just in the classroom, but throughout the school community.
Each idea is standalone and easy to follow with a simple structure consisting of a title, description and tips for taking things further or implementing the ideas. The ideas themselves range from small tasks that can be undertaken in the classroom to setting up reading or literature festivals in the school. Some of my favourite ideas are reader recommendations (which are incredibly powerful coming from teacher to pupil) and first chapter Friday – the latter of which I plan to integrate next term for sure!
Teachers everywhere know that fostering a love of reading at a young age is imperative and Scott’s tips will certainly support primary school teachers in doing so. A must read for any primary teacher and every school should have a copy!
