Reading for pleasure – strategies to engage children and young peopleCILIPScotland
This document discusses many strategies and evidence around promoting reading for pleasure. It notes that reading is important for educational attainment, health, earnings and more. Key factors that promote reading include: having books available and time to read; being read to; choosing what to read; belonging to a reading community; talking about books; and creating a positive reading environment at home and school. The social and emotional benefits of reading are also emphasized.
The document discusses ideas from the UK to promote reading for pleasure. It summarizes the author's scholarship trip where they visited various schools, libraries, and organizations. It outlines the benefits of reading for pleasure, including increased attainment and empathy. It discusses initiatives like Empathy Lab that focus on using reading to improve empathy. It also discusses research on teachers as readers and the importance of teachers having knowledge of children's literature. Overall, the document promotes creating a culture of reading for pleasure in schools.
Reading for Pleasure has declined in the UK but is important for student attainment and future career success. International research shows a direct correlation between good school libraries and higher student achievement. A good school library has a professional librarian, appropriate resources, and encourages reading enjoyment. Implementing a reading for pleasure policy school-wide can positively impact students through normalizing reading across the curriculum, rewarding reading, and involving parents.
This document provides guidance for a lesson on reading for pleasure. It includes definitions of key vocabulary, pre-reading activities to engage students, a discussion of why reading for pleasure is important, and plans to read aloud and discuss an entertaining text about kissing techniques. The lesson aims to define reading for pleasure, identify entertaining sections of the sample text, and review students' learning.
In an open discussion format, participants will gain valuable insights gleaned from Kelly Gallagher’s acclaimed book, Readicide. Are we killing reading in public schools? If so, how? What can we as educators do about it? How do we get students motivated and interested in reading? Come for this important reflective discussion about the current reality of reading in our schools and how we have the power to initiate change and support students to help them become readers.
Victoria Sanchez and Mary Madigan share the story of how and why the Milwaukee Public Library have shifted the focus of their Summer Library Program to outside the library, positioning the library staff as literacy leaders in the community.

School’s out for summer, as you’ve probably noticed because of the recent influx of tots and teens participating in your story hours and book clubs. Public librarians with experience in youth outreach will spend this hour sharing what has worked and what has not when it comes to reaching this patron population at their libraries. Bring your own best practices to share with the group as well.
The document discusses the importance of developing a culture of reading among students. It notes that reading ability is closely linked to future success and that students need opportunities to practice reading outside the classroom. The document also outlines challenges to promoting reading at Nicholas Chamberlaine Technology College, such as lack of reading engagement and reluctance among some students, and proposes initiatives to help address these challenges and improve reading achievement.
This document outlines plans for a campaign to rebrand classic novels to target teenagers. It begins with an introduction and background on the chosen product. Research showed that only 20% of those surveyed had read a classic novel, and 70% had little understanding of what constituted a classic novel. The document then discusses redesigning classic novel covers to be more colorful and intriguing to appeal to teenagers, who judge books by their covers. It proposes simple, effective advertising to appeal to teenagers' preferences. Additional research found that despite predictions, most teenagers still prefer printed books over ebooks, as ebooks currently lack the social sharing aspects popular with teens.
This document provides information for a session on school libraries. It discusses the role of the library in building a reading culture, practical strategies to support stakeholders, and accessing resources. It emphasizes that the library leader is an enabling adult who can create readers by providing access to materials, knowing students' interests, actively promoting books, and making time for discussion. The greatest impact comes from being a reading role model and reading aloud to students. Evidence of the library's impact is needed to advocate for its importance in supporting student learning.

Swapshop 2014: Inspiring Teens - Lara Marshall, Hillingdon LibrariesAndy Ryan
This document discusses strategies for engaging teens in libraries. It notes that nearly half of teens do not read for pleasure and many lack basic literacy skills. Libraries in Hillingdon have had success engaging teens through providing the right stock of books like graphic novels and popular fiction, hosting author events featuring genres popular with teens, and creating a comfortable environment with refreshments. Events featuring manga, film adaptations of books, and an annual "Book of the Year" award with local schools have also been effective.
How The Library Meets The Needs Of Parentseliseblas
The document summarizes research conducted by several libraries to understand how they can better meet the needs of parents with young children. Surveys and focus groups provided insights such as parents valuing storytime programs and enjoying sharing the library experience with their kids. Suggestions were made to promote early literacy resources for parents and provide additional programming options tailored for different age groups.
This document discusses several aspects of selecting children's literature, including:
1) What makes an effective children's book depends on the genre - storybooks should have engaging elements while concept books should clearly convey their topic.
2) A good children's book stimulates imagination, uses enjoyable language, has developmentally appropriate content, and keeps children's attention.
3) When helping children choose books, the "Goldilocks strategy" of having them read a few pages and count unfamiliar words helps determine if a book is at their level.
4) Classroom libraries are important for giving students access and practice with reading, but books may become restricted if only available in one classroom. Tracking collections addresses this issue
A good children's book engages children's imagination, uses fun language and pictures, and keeps children's attention while involving them in the story. It should be developmentally appropriate and stimulate learning. Classroom libraries are important for children to practice reading, but some argue centralized school libraries are more cost effective. Selection policies help guide book choices and address challenges in a transparent way to avoid censorship accusations.
A good children's book selection policy is important to avoid censorship challenges and provide guidance for librarians. Selection policies outline the goals for a children's collection and procedures for how books will be chosen. They help defend against accusations of bias and provide transparency in decision making. Some key factors that policies address include developmental appropriateness, appeal to readers, and inclusion of diverse perspectives.
The document describes a program called "Café Read-A-Latte" created by Susan K. S. Grigsby at Elkins Pointe Middle School to promote reading among students.

The café events were a success in boosting student reading and library visitation. The program helped change perceptions of the library and increase circulation of materials.
This document discusses a research study on leisure reading habits among college students. It begins by connecting leisure reading to benefits like academic achievement, creativity, mental well-being, and empathy. The study used interviews and observations to understand students' leisure reading behaviors and perceptions of academic library leisure collections. Results found that while students read for enjoyment, stress relief, and personal development, they were often unaware of or dissatisfied with library leisure collections. The study concludes by providing recommendations for academic libraries to better promote and develop their leisure collections to encourage recreational reading among students.
This document provides background information on a study to determine the level of appreciation for literature among selected Grade 7 students at Langkaan II National Highschool. The study aims to identify the types of literature students read, what motivates them to read literature, and their overall level of appreciation. A literature review is presented covering topics such as the benefits of reading, motivations for reading, and frameworks for literary appreciation. The methodology describes the descriptive research design that will be used to survey students and analyze collected data.
The document discusses expectations and experiences of university students based on interviews with students. It finds that students had varying expectations prior to arriving, with some worried about skills or the transition after a long time away from education. Students reported learning best through practical and interactive methods rather than just listening. The experiences of university were generally positive, with making friends being a highlight. The document discusses how the university student population has changed with more diverse and non-traditional students and explores ways universities can better support student transition and engagement through activities like orientation, community building and listening to the student voice.

This document summarizes research conducted at York University that investigated university faculty's information literacy (IL) instruction practices, attitudes, and knowledge through surveys and interviews. The research found that faculty widely recognize the importance of IL competencies for students but have concerns about students' current abilities, particularly in evaluating information sources critically and incorporating information into their own knowledge. Faculty reported using different levels of IL instruction and having varying views on ideal frameworks. The research provided insights into the disconnect between faculty and librarian perspectives on teaching roles regarding IL.
The Relationship Management Conference in November 2017 aimed to better understand how academics at York approach research and teaching to help the library better support them. 142 academics were interviewed using various qualitative methods. Key findings included motivations and frustrations around workloads, publishing pressures, and finding time for creativity. Insights influenced library strategies around space, resources, skills development and building relationships with academics. User experience projects were highlighted as providing valuable customer insights.

This document summarizes the key findings of a study that examined how faculty and librarians perceive information literacy. The study found that while faculty and librarians generally agreed on the importance of information literacy, they sometimes differed in their views. Faculty saw librarians as experts and valued collaboration, while librarians perceived some misalignment or narrower understandings of information literacy among faculty. Both groups saw value in information literacy programs but librarians were less optimistic about shared concepts between the two groups. The study highlights opportunities for increasing awareness of programs and designing curriculum to improve alignment between faculty and librarians on information literacy.
This document discusses the importance of incorporating writing across all subject areas in middle and high school classrooms. It makes the case that writing should be a central focus of student work regardless of the subject being taught. It provides five key reasons for using writing across the curriculum: 1) it is an effective way to assess student knowledge, 2) writing is an essential skill for life after school, 3) it can boost students' self-esteem and behavior, 4) it helps students think clearly, and 5) writing is a powerful skill. The document offers practical guidance for non-language arts teachers on how to incorporate writing into their classrooms, including using the Six Traits criteria and Writing Process model to structure assignments and provide feedback

It summarizes a conference held by IASL in Tokyo, Japan in August 2016 that included keynote speakers and workshops on topics like evaluating school library programs, serving refugee students, and fostering empathy. The document also provides details on the presenter's role coordinating a teen technology competition in the UK and her work as a school librarian at an independent girls' school in England.
The document discusses how school libraries can support public health literacy. It notes that many adults have low health literacy and patients are being asked to self-manage their care. School librarians are well-positioned to provide children with health information and education. The document provides examples of resources school libraries can use, such as information from NHS Choices tailored for teenagers. It also discusses partnerships between NHS librarians and school librarians to improve access to quality health information.

6th form reading presentation
1. Why should I read fiction when I
am not studying English AL?
How lack of reading impedes your
ability to achieve in EVERY subject
2. Reading and Mathematics
• The Department of Mathematics in the
University of South Africa undertook a study
where they compared first year
undergraduates reading skills to their ability to
problem solve and understand and decode
mathematics.
• This is what they found..
3. Reading and Mathematics
• ..the findings [of the research] suggest that
whilst reading ability does not guarantee a
pass in mathematics, poor reading ability
constitutes a learning barrier that impedes
access to the proper understanding of
mathematical information.’
• From article: ‘Mathematics and reading ability: are numeracy and literacy siblings
or distant cousins?’ by E.J. Pretorius 2001
4. Reading and University achievement
• Another study at the same university found
that …’academic performance is determined
to a large extent by reading ability’ The
reason for this was, they concluded ‘…reading
not only affords readers independent access
to information, but more importantly is a
powerful learning tool, a means of
constructing meaning and acquiring new
knowledge …. Students need to be good
readers in order to ‘read to learn.’’
5. Coping with life
‘Just as computer simulations can help us get to grips
with complex problems such as flying a plane or
forecasting the weather, so novels, stories and dramas
can help us understand the complexities of social life.’
Dr Oatley, Emiritus Professor of Cognitive Knowledge at the University of Toronto
6. Building Empathy
He goes on to add … ‘reading
produces a vivid simulation
of reality ..novels go beyond
simulating reality to give
readers an experience
unavailable off the page: the
opportunity to enter fully
into other people’s thoughts
and feelings.’
Quoted in article ‘Your Brain on Fiction’ in the
New York Times Sunday Review March 12th
2012
7. Reading has also been shown to
improve your career prospects. A
study undertaken at the University
of Oxford’s Sociology Department
showed a significant improvement
in career chances amongst those
who read regularly against those
who didn’t.
Reading yourself into a better career
8. Reading and your career
• The report goes on to add:
• ‘None of the other activities, such as taking part
in sports or activities, socializing, going to
museums or galleries or to the cinema or
concerts, or practical activities like cooking or
sewing, were found to have a significant effect on
their careers… The positive associations of
reading for pleasure aren’t replicated in any other
extra-curricular activity, regardless of our
expectations’
• http://www.ox.ac.uk/media/news_stories/2011/110804.html
9. Important for cognitive development
The effect of reading for
pleasure ‘..was found to be
more important for
cognitive development
…than [your] parents level
of education.’
Reading regularly gave an
effect ‘…four times greater
than the advantage children
gained from having parents
with a degree’
http://www.ioe.ac.uk/newsEvents/89938.html Report from
Institute of Education quoted on their page
10. In conclusion…
• Read around your subject – ask for help in
finding relevant books
• Read for pleasure
• Read widely – newspapers, informative
magazines like New Scientist,
and specialist blogs.
