Encouraging Reading - from a
library perspective
![Page 2: Reading and the english teacher final version](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022070510/58a8cc511a28ab53138b62fb/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
“I read because one life isn't enough, and in the page of a book I can be anybody;I read because the words that build the story become mine, to build my life;I read not for happy endings but for new beginnings; I'm just beginning myself, and I wouldn't mind a map;I read because I have friends who don't, and young though they are, they're beginning to run out of material;I read because every journey begins at the library, and it's time for me to start packing;I read because one of these days I'm going to get out of this town, and I'm going to go everywhere and meet everybody, and I want to be ready.”
Richard Peck, Anonymously Yours

Reading is awesomeWhy do you read? Or why don't you
read?
Should you read?
Should you read the things your students like to read?
Should they read the things you like to read?

Do you know what is hot?
With your boys?
With your girls?

Warning
Controversial slide coming up
Be prepared to be offended

What frustrates the heck out of librarians?
English teachers who don't even try to read the books their 'clients' are interested in.
![Page 7: Reading and the english teacher final version](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022070510/58a8cc511a28ab53138b62fb/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Oh wait ... there is more
English teachers who refuse to accept that kids have different taste to them
- Mr Pip!
![Page 8: Reading and the english teacher final version](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022070510/58a8cc511a28ab53138b62fb/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
What still more.......?
And those English teachers who've read a couple of books, 5 years
ago .... and show only those books to students.
You gotta keep current.

Oh come on, there can't be more
Literacy leaders and RTLB staff who have no experience with the books
students can read and would want to read
![Page 10: Reading and the english teacher final version](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022070510/58a8cc511a28ab53138b62fb/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Seriously .....
An English teacher who doesn't read.....
is like a man working in lingerie shop!
Just wrong
![Page 11: Reading and the english teacher final version](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022070510/58a8cc511a28ab53138b62fb/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
So, I'll go back to being nice
What makes students want to read?
![Page 12: Reading and the english teacher final version](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022070510/58a8cc511a28ab53138b62fb/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
I think…Interesting books
Interested adults
Interaction with reading peers
Identifying with the books available
Involving students in choice
![Page 13: Reading and the english teacher final version](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022070510/58a8cc511a28ab53138b62fb/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
How do you make those things happen - just four
things A decent budget
Staff who know YA literature and read it and prove they are interested
Ways for students to get together and discuss reading
& Make it fun!

How do we do it at King's• Staff have books thrust at them as
well as students• Budget• BookGang & BookMafia• Reading periods with booktalks• Everyone reads from the King's
library• Competition• Staff talk about their reading • Suggestions from students are
important
Bolshy librarian :)

Expect this from your kickarse librarian
• Your librarian is out in classes working with you and the students - not in the workroom all the time
• Part of the teaching team• Offers a different but
complementary skill set to the teacher
• Provides tools which staff can use• Loves working with students and
staff
