Welcome
Talking about books helps children build their reading identities p.28
We think a lot about how to get children to read, but how do we keep
them reading? On page 9, Kelly Ashley examines three core aspects
of reader motivation to help us better understand how to get children
hooked on books. Jon Biddle explores this concept further on page 28
with tried-and-tested ways you can establish a flourishing reading
culture in your classroom. The titles that appear in our regular 10 books... feature this issue would be difficult for any child to ignore. Chosen from among the winners and finalists of a decade of the Klaus Flugge Prize, these glorious picturebooks combine stunning artwork with plenty of teaching opportunities (p12). We stick with a prizewinning theme on page 18, where Nikki Gamble and Stephen Dilley look at some unexpected ways in which getting involved with book awards can make you an even better teacher.
