This is a fully up-dated guide for teachers and trainees, containing a new chapter on getting boys into books, plus an extended directory and plenty suggestions for further reading.

This practical guide shows teachers how they can improve their students' reading skills using a variety of strategies, including setting up reading clubs, celebrating world book day and creating a reader-friendly school. Brimming with top tips and innovative advice, this book will prove invaluable to teachers everywhere.
