We are proud of the participants of the 2024–25 cohort of the Developing and Sustaining Reading for Pleasure (Primary) course.

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.
Practitioner enquiry poster examples
1. Does an author visit encourage children to be intrinsically motivated to read for pleasure?
by Alison Marshall, Class Teacher
After engaging with author visits and authors’ live events, this enquiry found that children became more aware of books and authors, more adventurous in their own book choices, and led to increased motivation to read in their free time.
2. How has the introduction of graphic novels influenced attitudes towards reading for pleasure within a primary school setting?
by Elizabeth Fuller, Depute Head Teacher
After a library audit, this school introduced more diverse books and genres including graphic novels. The introduction of graphic novels had a really positive impact on learners and this enquiry explores why graphic novels were so appealing and how they impact children’s reading for pleasure.
3. How do increased opportunities for reading for pleasure impact children’s play?
by Michelle Sichi, Class Teacher
Michelle Sichi explored the impact of reading for pleasure on high-quality play experiences, identifying the ways in which stories became part of play.
