We are proud of the participants of the 2024–25 cohort of the Developing and Sustaining Reading for Pleasure (Primary) course. The participants are teaching and learning professionals from across Scotland. These posters show their own personal practitioner enquiries into areas of interest in their setting and do not necessarily reflect the views and values of Scottish Book Trust.

1. How does regular scheduled informal book talk support a class culture of Reading for Pleasure?
by Catriona Skinner, Class Teacher, Fife
Catriona Skinner explores how regular book talk might support a Reading for Pleasure class culture, finding after her interventions that 'the clearest impact is that every day, someone in the class either talks to me about a book, brings me a book or has a conversation with a friend over a book.'
2. How can a targeted reading intervention in a secondary school setting improve pupils’ attitudes towards reading while also building their reading confidence and ability?
by Karin Gourlay, Principal Teacher, North Ayrshire
Through this enquiry, Karin Gourlay found that using learner-selected reading texts in a targeted reading intervention had a positive impact on both pupils’ attitudes towards reading and their literacy development.
3. What impact does the implementation of a library app have on children’s engagement and enjoyment in reading for pleasure?
by Rachel Parley, Class Teacher, Aberdeenshire
