HOW TO TEACH: A PASSPORT TO EVERYWHERE READING FOR PLEASURE

In Reading for Pleasure, Kenny Pieper has gathered a range of tried-and-tested strategies to get kids reading, and enjoying it. We hear too often that kids don t read anymore: Kenny thinks it should be every teacher s mission to prove this isn’t true. In a squeezed curriculum it can be tempting to accept pupils’ lack of reading and make excuses that there is not enough time to give to the luxury of personal reading. Teachers do this at our peril. Reading is the essential building block of further literacy development as well as a skill, hobby, and habit that we can take with us forever. Kenny Pieper takes the act of reading for granted, as many but sadly not all adults do. You re-reading this right now. However, this isn’t the case for everyone. Kenny teaches kids whose lives are terrifying obstacle courses of reading-related problems.
