My article on encouraging children to read for pleasure is now published in the Summer 2019 edition of ‘Primary Matters: The Primary Magazine for the National Association for the Teaching of English’ (NATE).
Have you met much-loved teacher, Ms. Bixby, yet?
‘Ms.Bixby regularly reads aloud to her class. She serialises whole books, books she loves, and she reads them in a way that enchants her children into loving them too.’
In the same issue is an essential article by the wonderful Professor Teresa Cremin. Worth the small price of NATE membership for this alone. There are also fine contributions from James Clements and Anne Glennie, amongst others. Unmissable for Primary teachers, or anyone concerned with developing reading with young children.
Below is a link to my article about children’s fantasy fiction in an earlier edition the same publication.
