Love to Read Reception

 

2023 – 2024

In the earliest stages of learning to read, it is essential that children are not only taught the necessary skills to become independent readers, but that they also develop a love and interest in books and reading, and choose to read (both independently and with others) outside of school.

Drawing upon the Nuffield Foundation funded Love to Read project, we created a ‘reading for pleasure’ programme for reception year children in England, and evaluated it across six school settings.  The programme focused on fostering reading enjoyment (positive attitudes towards books and reading), skills (to self-select books they will enjoy) and behaviour (volitional independent and shared reading) and aligned with the six research-informed principles to support children’s reading motivation and engagement.
