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.
Practitioner enquiry poster examples
1. To what extent do book recommendations and book talk from adult reading role models impact on children’s attitudes towards reading for pleasure?
by Kirsty Gorman, School Literacy Co-ordinator and Class Teacher, Edinburgh
Identifying the need to facilitate more book talk in the classroom, staff across the school shared their favourite children’s books and this enquiry explores the impact of these recommendations on children’s reading for pleasure.
2. How does our environment encourage reading for pleasure?
Gathering pupil views on the school library and reading areas sparked lots of discussion, ideas and changes in this enquiry, which focuses on how environments can encourage reading for pleasure.
3. What happens when primary 3 pupils have regular access to a Tonie Box (audiobooks) in the classroom setting?
by Sarah Hope, Class Teacher
Introducing audio books to a P3 classroom was found to increase inclusion, reading engagement and motivation and book talk through this enquiry.
