Reading for Pleasure
Making sure that children become engaged with reading from the beginning is one of the most important ways to make a difference to their life chances. For this to happen, children need to learn to read as fluently as possible and be motivated to continue reading.
Creating a love of reading for pleasure in children is critical. Enjoyment, creativity, imagination, greater self-esteem, empathy, relaxation, escapism and improved communication skills are well-known benefits of reading.
One of our priorities is to work in partnership with parents to build a strong reading culture, which fosters a love for reading. In order to do this, we have put together some resources which we hope can help families at home. We hope you find this section of our website helpful and would welcome any feedback and fresh recommendations!
