A reading circle is a group of people who meet to talk about a book or story they all have read.
Participants in a reading circle can include students, teaching staff, non-teaching staff and even parents, depending on the objectives of the reading circle.
This refers to a large spread of books placed all around an inviting reading space (e.g., classroom, canteen, library) which students can explore.
Reading discussion prompts are activities that serve as starting points for discussion around what was read.
Bringing a writer into your school is a great way to inspire both students and teachers, and bring reading to life. Students get a glimpse into the life of writers and writers can motivate students to read!
