Create a reading culture: get your school reading
This resource is full of ideas and support to help you to create a vibrant reading culture in your school. The activities are suitable for pupils aged 5–16. The resource has been split into eight sections to help you identify and target key aspects of creating a reading culture in your school. The sections are:
- Regular reading
- School environment
- Reading role models
- Events and celebrations
- Links to curriculum
- Creating social networks
- Involving families
- Involving communities
You do not need to use all the activities and ideas in this resource, select what is most relevant for your setting and school priorities.
As part of this resource, we have included our Use books and reading to support recovery 2021–22 booklet. All schools in Scotland received a hard copy of this booklet in August 2021. It contains all the information you need about our learning programmes, and how they can support you and your learners.
