Developing and Sustaining Reading for Pleasure: Practitioner enquiry posters
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 2025–26 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 does the introduction of themed book displays in the construction and role-play areas increase independent engagement with non-fiction texts in a P1/2 classroom?
by Aisha Pollock, P1/2 Class Teacher, Uplawmoor Primary School
This enquiry highlights the importance of embedding non-fiction texts within meaningful play contexts and suggests children are more likely to engage with books when they’re linked to hands-on, interest-led learning experiences.
2. What is the impact of parent workshops and genre guides on parents’ confidence in supporting varied reading at home?
by Carrie Lumsden, P5 teacher, Dalbeattie Primary
By creating genre guides as well as facilitating an event for parents to explore different formats and genres in person, this enquiry looked at ways to build parents’ confidence in helping their children choose texts.
3. To what extent does current school library stock meet the reading interests of pupils?
by Gary Smith, Class teacher, St Columba’s RC PS
This enquiry revealed a divide between the books and authors that pupils were interested in and what was available in the school library. By centring pupil voice and choice, new stock has been ordered that matches pupil interests, generating excitement and enthusiasm.
