From Reader to Reading Teacher: Issues and Strategies for Second Language Classrooms (Cambridge Language Education)

Product Information

That's why I wrote my book, 100 Ideas for Primary Teachers: Reading for Pleasure, which draws on all of my experience as a primary school teacher, educational consultant, former librarian and book award judge to provide primary teachers with one hundred practical and proven ideas to promote reading for pleasure in their schools. At the heart of my book lies the 'Reading Roadmap' – a five-point framework that forms the foundation for all the ideas presented and provides an effective, thoughtful and intentional approach to raising reading children, teachers, leaders, schools and communities alike. In most universities, professorships are reserved for only the most senior academic staff, and other academics are generally known as ' lecturers', ' senior lecturers' and ' readers' (in some Commonwealth countries such as Australia, New Zealand and South Africa, the title 'associate professor' can be used instead of 'reader' [2]). In some countries, senior lecturers are generally paid the same as readers, but the latter title is awarded primarily for research excellence, and traditionally carries higher prestige. Traditionally, heads of departments and other senior academic leadership roles within a university were undertaken by professors.

We all know the long-term life benefits of being literate. We know that reading can improve a child’s comprehension, vocabulary, spelling, speaking, listening, writing and overall general knowledge.Mister, Nicola (6 May 2021).

Are reading corners limiting children's exposure to books? That's what I think and so, I suggest a simple solution: it's time to move beyond the traditional reading corner and create reading classrooms. Instead of having one designated area for reading, teachers can make books accessible throughout the room to encourage a love of reading. But it's not just about putting books all over the place. Teachers need to carefully consider the placement, accessibility and variety of books to create an inclusive reading environment. Consequently, they can encourage children to encounter books naturally and choose to read for further enjoyment. Senior Readership Team The Extraordinary Adventures of Alice Tonks by Emily Kenny is a boarding school story with an autistic protagonist at its heart, and is also written by an autistic author. When Alice goes to boarding school, she struggles to make friends, that is until she discovers she is a Switcher: someone who can understand and talk to animals. After a rather strange encounter with a seagull on her first day, she’s left with a lot of questions. Why does the bird need her help? And WHY can she talk to seagulls? Alice is used to being by herself but she can't solve the mystery alone. With new friends behind her, can Alice harness her magic powers and become the hero she never imagined? Every reader will be wanting to talk to animals after this one. Also, it’s particularly enjoyable that Alice’s autism is shown as a strength in situations throughout the story. Involving the whole school is paramount in developing enjoyment of reading in children. This should include all stakeholders within your school, from the senior leadership team to support staff, and from pupils to parents. In my opinion, reading should be our top priority in the classroom. But how can we infuse our children with a genuine love of reading and keep them engaged with reading throughout their school careers and into their adult lives? A chapter a day Having a representative range of literature in schools is essential for children to see themselves on the shelves. This requires careful consideration of the diversity of people and places portrayed, including representation of age, disability, gender, race, religion and belief, sexual orientation and socioeconomic status. Teachers should be knowledgeable and have a deep understanding about the books to ensure authentic and respectful representation. By doing so, inclusion and diversity become an integral part of the curriculum rather than a tokenistic gesture. Reading ClassroomsHowever, fostering a love of reading can be challenging, especially considering recent research which indicates that reading for pleasure among children is currently at its lowest level in eighteen years.
