Building Communities of Engaged Readers by Teresa Cremin

Reading for pleasure urgently requires a higher profile to raise attainment and increase childrens engagement as self-motivated and socially interactive readers. Building Communities of Engaged Readers provides an inspiring and accessible account of a collaborative research and development project that achieved these goals.

"This book is essential reading for all those who have an interest in teaching reading in schoolsIt should be on all initial teacher education programme reading lists and should be at the centre of professional discussions on how to encourage reading for pleasure in schools. In addition to demonstrating how children can come to recognise the pleasures of reading, there are plenty of issues to debate and mull over. I cannot recommend it enough." - Andrew Lambirth, British Journal of Educational Studies (Vol 63, Issue 2, 2015)

"The authors of Building Communities of Engaged Readers formulate an important and empirically valid argument for the significant impact of pedagogical practice and reading repertoires on pupils’ reading engagement in reading and their academic achievement. It is an important signal for policy makers and practitioners not only in the UK. I highly recommend Building Communities of Engaged Readers not only to those who teach reading in schools, but also to educational policy makers to help them to see reading as multidimensional practice." - Zofia Zasacka, National Library, Poland, International Research Society for Children's Literature
