This resource showcases some of the interesting practitioner enquiry posters created by participants in the Developing and Sustaining Reading for Pleasure (Primary) course.
For more information, visit the Developing and Sustaining Reading for Pleasure (Primary) course page.
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. How can reading for pleasure be embedded throughout our school community?
by Deborah McDonald, Class Teacher
Deborah worked with staff across the school to evaluate and refresh reading materials and reading areas, and introduced teacher reading assemblies to enthusiastic reception from the children.
2. Will using an Immersion Reading approach improve pupils’ beliefs of themselves as readers?
by Lyn Harrison, Class Teacher/Library Lead, Perth and Kinross
This enquiry explores the impact of immersion reading – listening to a story being read aloud alongside reading the book themselves – on a group of children, and found an increase in confidence, enjoyment and a sense of inclusion.
3. Does giving ownership of a class library to pupils influence their desire to read for enjoyment at school?
by Fiona Kilpatrick, Principal Teacher, Falkirk
Fiona found that giving pupils ownership to choose books for their class library and opportunities to influence the library space positively impacted on their ability to find books they wanted to read, and their motivation for reading.
