By ensuring instruction leads to success, we don’t just create pupils who can read - we create lifelong readers. #ReadingForPleasure #Literacy #NetballAnalogy #EduTwitter

Reading isn't just a single skill; it’s a tool for life. Whether we read to learn, to escape or to connect, PURPOSE shapes our relationship with a text. In this blog, we explore why purpose shapes the reader's relationship with different texts. researchschool.org.uk/town-end/news/…

The "reading for pleasure" debate is heating up again. 🧵 We believe it isn’t an "either/or" situation. To create lifelong readers, we need both the SKILL and the THRILL. Children need the skill before they can truly feel the thrill of reading FOR and BY themselves .
