Teresa Cremin Press Reviews
"Underpinned by the editors’ considerable research and enriched by experienced educators, this book makes a powerful argument that being a Reading Teacher does not just mean being a teacher who reads, but one who reflects on the relationships between their own reading and school reading, models what it’s like to be a reader, and takes time to get to know the readers in their class. This accessible and persuasive book is a must for all beginning and experienced teachers. And of course, it is a great read." - Professor Cathy Burnett, Sheffield Hallam University, UK
"Reading Teachers is a brilliant book that will fan the flames of the ‘reading fire’ and help schools nurture passionate, engaged and motivated readers." - Jon Biddle, Teacher and English Leader
"This highly accessible book will further practitioners’ understanding of effective approaches for encouraging reading for pleasure, including what it really means to be a Reading Teacher and why that is so important. The art of providing meaningful opportunities for children to become engaged, volitional readers is brought to life through real-world case-studies that cannot fail to inspire teachers and librarians whatever their school, context or role." - Fiona Evans, Director of School Programmes, National Literacy Trust
