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.
