One of a series which offers a structured yet flexible approach to activities and lessons for use in the primary classroom in line with the demands of the National Curriculum, this book focuses on teaching reading to develop reading skills and promote independent reading. It builds on the sound foundations laid in "Inspirations for Becoming a Reader" by the same authors offering an easily accessible theoretical framework and practical activities. The ideas are designed to arouse and sustain pupil's interest in and motivation for independent reading and can be used to support any scheme of work or reading programme.
