In this episode, we are going to focus on the hot topic of reading for pleasure. There’s been a lot in the press recently which we will pick up on and we are in the middle of the National Year of Reading which is encouraging us to ‘Go All In’. As pledge partners to this initiative we though we would share some of our thoughts and tips.

Things we chat about in this episode:

• The recent articles about Reading for Pleasure and what are our thoughts
• What we think the issue is with getting kids reading
• Is it too late to get this generation reading?
• How we can model reading for pleasure and support the Go All In initiative?
• How we would approach getting pupils interested in reading
• What does/doesn’t work
• How we see reading and the reasons we read (Hint: it isn't always pleasure!)
