Welcome to tonight’s #ukedchat: how can / do we enable students to discover the joy of reading? Tips for success? #worldbookday #ukedchat @greeninkuk created a wallwisher wall for class about why reading is important, great contributions http://bit.ly/dXOuey #ukedchat If they were read to as little kids, and get to read to parents when older, they'll 'get' the love of reading. Please remember to include the #ukedchat hash tag near the start of your tweets, to ensure your comments hit the archive. Thank you :-) Enjoyment of reading. Does this need to start before pupils attend school? #ukedchat Onus on parents? Happy World Book Day, everyone! http://worldbookday.com/ #edtech #edchat #eduswe #dkudd #ukedchat #worldbookday Good question, kids tend to fall into two camps read a lot or don't. I didn't at school, we didn't have many books at home #ukedchat RT @informed_edu: #ukedchat If they were read to as little kids, & get 2 read 2 parents when older, they'll 'get' love of reading. #ukedchat. Please forgive the plug but my book 'Unlocking the Reader in Every Child' by Susan Elkin (Ransom, 2010) has lots of tips & ideas. @colport yes I think pupils need to enjoy reading before starting school #ukedchat @colport #ukedchat I think that parents are the biggest influence, you don't do much reading at school, home is the time for it. @SusanElkinJourn Can you share any good ideas that spring to mind? #ukedchat @colport Parents need to model the behaviour of enjoying regular reading, as with all other things! #ukedchat RT @SusanElkinJourn: #ukedchat. my book 'Unlocking the Reader in Every Child' by Susan Elkin (Ransom, 2010) has tips & ideas RT @readingagency: RT @mushychelle tonight's #ukedchat at 8pm is all about promoting the joy of reading @WorldBookDayUK 2day @WorldBookNight Sat >>Good luck! @informed_edu @hrogerson @mushychelle I think of my early experiences, but parents never engaged me in the act of reading #ukedchat RT @informed_edu: Parents need to model the behaviour of enjoying regular reading, as with all other things! #ukedchat < agree Does anyone do work with parents, helping them to find books for their children? #ukedchat #ukedchat as a child I discovered my love of reading through using my local library - I read all the books in school! #ukedchat Does modelling reading need to be dominated by books? TBH most of my reading is onscreen. Have always read books to kids though. RT @hrogerson: Does anyone do work with parents, helping them to find books for their children? #ukedchat @hrogerson No, but should schools include libraries more, or should libraries be more proactive? #ukedchat @colport Never be seen without a book sticking out of your bag/in your hand. Talk about books all the time. Be a 'mad' enthusiast. #ukedchat #ukedchat I find the best way to get kids enthused is to read lots myself My nephews all love turning pages as I read to them, there's something magical about it #ukedchat @AntHeald I think in this day and age reading can be lots of different formats #ukedchat Please remember to include #ukedchat in your tweets RT @SusanElkinJourn: @colport Never be seen without a book sticking out of your bag/in your hand. Talk about books all the time. Be a 'mad' enthusiast. #ukedchat I got into reading aged 21 thanks to harry potter, step daughter force to read it at school and hated it! #ukedchat #ukedchat read @jago5 s blog for ideas about great books for ch http://bit.ly/fcT8z0 Never never never 'rubbish' anything kids have enjoyed - even if you don't reckon it much. #ukedchat how do people engage students who are 'reluctant readers'? at @readingagency we have reading schemes for children and adults #ukedchat @hrogerson my sister loved Harry Potter too! #ukedchat #ukedchat As a teacher of Year 2's (6&7), I ensure I read a story book EVERY DAY to my class, just before home time. RT @teachingofsci #ukedchat Best way to get kids enthused is to read lots myself >yes, agree, and talk about books a lot - make it cool! RT @hrogerson: I got into reading aged 21 thanks to harry potter << read what you love, everyone is different #ukedchat #ukedchat We now have a few kindles which have really helped with reluctant readers. RT @SusanElkinJourn: Never never never 'rubbish' anything kids have enjoyed - even if you don't reckon it much. < yes! #ukedchat Yeay, get to take part live in #ukedchat for the first time... I'm a terrible page-skipper. Totally impatient to find out what happens and I miss the detail! Not sure how i got that habit? #ukedchat @SusanElkinJourn Nice tips, and ideas. Keep them coming :-) #ukedchat #ukedchat does anyone 'reward' readers? At my school we had gold stars and a fluffy pen if you completed chart Read anything they recommend to you and then talk about it (vg for kids' self esteem & raises status of their choices) #ukedchat #ukedchat It was my teacher sharing her favourite books on the carpet with us when I was 6 that got me into reading books (A.A. Milne) #ukedchat I do read a lot of teenage stuff so I can talk to the kids about it! And make recommendations, e.g Alison croggon from twilight RT @narthernlad: kindles really helped reluctant readers << ooh, why? #ukedchat RT @SusanElkinJourn Never 'rubbish' thing kids have enjoyed, even if you don't like #ukedchat >but challenge a bit too? Prod to read x or y? @ColinTGraham yey welcome :-) so... maths and reading ;-) #ukedchat Film or TV tie-ins often work well, graded readers can be a good starting point for leading on to the full-blown book #ukedchat You can now watch TeachMeet NGfL #tmngfl on demand here http://bit.ly/c4nLoV #ukedchat #edchat #iwb #cpd #elearning #edtech #TM #NGfLlive @mushychelle I think they just like the idea of ebooks, it is new different and fun! Same books but electronic. #ukedchat we have literacy days where local people from all industries form a panel and are questioned by students on books, literacy... #ukedchat #ukedchat anyone using digital texts with students @readingagency last year carried out study into gaming and reading http://bit.ly/c16WN2 @colintgraham agreed - my nephews love the Toy Story and Ben 10 books. #ukedchat #ukedchat this is always timed badly for me... Off to eat my dinner. Enjoy your discussions! @mushychelle I'm wearing my EFL teacher hat tonight, mostly ;-) #mathchat will be talking about books later... #ukedchat As usual I will miss most of #ukedchat as I will be reading with my 5yo daughter. Tonight: Charlie & Lola. Again! @TeacherTalks Oh yes. 'Glad you enjoyed that, Why don't you try this now . . ' #ukedchat RT @ukedchat #ukedchat As a teacher of Year 2, I read a story book EVERY DAY to my class >good for you, and never too old to hear a story! @ukedchat Daily story time so important in a primary classroom but often suffers due to packed daily timetable. #ukedchat #ukedchat Does this debate bring out the boys v girls reading differences? Children need time to hear or read texts more than once if they want to #ukedchat RT @ColinTGraham: Film or TV tie-ins work well, graded readers a good starting point << tefl books work well for Adult Lit stud #ukedchat Some of my children have started book reviews on our wiki all by themselves. http://mrburrettsclass.wikispaces.com/~Book+reviews #ukedchat #ukedchat Get authors in as often as you can. Fascinates kids. @AntHeald good excuse :-) #ukedchat @hrogerson Just reading alison croggon at moment, love it #ukedchat Children have the right to hear books which make them feel uncomfortable #ukedchat #ukedchat Important to keep time every day for reading to pupils, shouldn't just be for younger pupils. RT @colport: #ukedchat Does this debate bring out the boys v girls reading differences? << good question, never noticed diff with adults @informed_edu Some of my Japanese students were surprised that some films had been based on books, rather than the other way round #ukedchat #ukedchat read up to a cliff hanger then just 'happen' to leave the book lying around - always worked with my class! #ukedchat does dressing up for world book day promote reading or detract from the main purpose? Have often wondered... RT @Joga5: Children have the right to hear books which make them feel uncomfortable #ukedchat << talking of which, anyone used audio books? RT @teachingofsci: @TeacherTalks #ukedchat i like to build on what kids already read/like by suggesting, why not try ... next I like to give children regular 'book sharing' time in class. Can read anything, sit with anyone, anywhere including on floor #ukedchat #ukedchat I find it is the acting out of stories that makes them return to favourite books over and over #readinginnursery @trees2066 Have seen some characters that bring that question to mind within school, such as Disney characters #ukedchat Does your school follow Carnegie Medal? You can post reviews of shortlisted books on CILIP website. Motivating. April-June. #ukedchat “@SusanElkinJourn: #ukedchat Get authors in as often as you can. Fascinates kids.†agreed! Through skype or online makes them accessible... #ukedchat last year I broke leg, couldn't concentrate, discovered Flips on DS - great for reading small bit of text at time Most of the TEFL graded reader publishers also have audio versions of their books, so Ss can have the book read to them... #ukedchat @mushychelle I love audiobooks in class - they should hear other voices #ukedchat

RT @trees2066: #ukedchat You can't beat regular home reading and exposure to different texts - makes such a difference to our children. #ukedchat We have to admit that some primary teachers are not readers and don't know any good chidren's books (and then help them) Having the same book in different formats ( and using them side by side) changed the experience of reading into something fun #ukedchat #ukedchat Anyone had good experiences of bringing authors into schools? Any keystage? @teachingofsci I have a few on the go at the moment - one upstairs, one down & part way thru one on Kindle! #ukedchat @bevevans22 #ukedchat agree re Disney, hate how ch think fairy story characters have certain names #ukedchat 'How' a book is shared with the chn is so important. Enthusiasm is catching! RT @trees2066: #ukedchat You can't beat regular home reading and exposure to different texts - makes such a difference to our children.

I'm hooked on mine. #ukedchat #ukedchat anyone tried collaborative reading as a technique to support students? @informed_edu @teachingofsci I think there maybe something in that but I also think there is a confidence issue for some. #ukedchat I put 'wrong' summaries of fairy stories on the wall. 1 stud went up, read, dictated exactly to group. Then they had to correct it #ukedchat #ukedchat After reading some of my fave book in assembly we suspended timetable and did pro-reading activities. Books open so many doors! @Joga5 @JaneWoods3 #ukedchat used to do bum face as yr 7 reader til parent complained @bevevans22 for now? #ukedchat #ukedchat I think digital texts have lot of potential, my brother read his first novel in long time on kindle as text in small chunks @colport 100 mile an hour dog man was pretty grumpy! #ukedchat #ukedchat Do reluctant readers like books but not reading ? #ukedchat I write down children's role play and read these observations back to them as stories - a love of story breeds love of books RT @cleverfiend: #ukedchat After reading some my fave book in assembly we suspended ttable & did pro-reading activities. << Ooh like what? RT @trees2066: #ukedchat You can't beat regular home reading and exposure to different texts - makes such a difference to our children. Reading like swimming. Learn the strokes then leap into the deep end and strike out. We need to turn them into effortless readers. #ukedchat @hrogerson how disappointing :-s #ukedchat RT @mushychelle #ukedchat tried collaborative reading to support students?>fan of 'paired reading' for struggling readers, improves stamina! RT @raff31: #ukedchat Do reluctant readers like books but not reading ? << maybe it's about only relating reading to books... @ianaddison @chrisrat also a bit late but it seems we are talking about books and reading on world book day! :-) #ukedchat Do you use reflective or reading response journals in your classes? http://ow.ly/47pTq #ukedchat RT @raff31: #ukedchat Do reluctant readers like books but not reading? <-- Yes, and yes. @guernseylibrary #ukedchat please ;-) Take them to the public library and introduce them to its wonders, including the staff (while they still exist!) #ukedchat #ukedchat fabulously busy tonight talking about reading - what ideas do you have to inspire reading? A hoomin sez: @bevevans22 precisely. We banned Disney characters and princesses last year #ukedchat bah humbug! ... http://bit.ly/fQLhnI @bevevans22 LOL, any picture? #ukedchat Many of our teachers have audio books on during art lessons once children are working independantly. Children really seem to #ukedchat By my last class today, staff had showed them 'Secret Seven', 'Jane Eyre', Jodi Picoult and Narnia. @mushychelle diversity in texts too. Many times texts available are just the popular ones. #ukedchat Variety spice of life and all that RT @trees2066: #ukedchat You can't beat regular home reading and exposure to different texts - makes such a difference to our children. @jjash I agree. Biggest factor in children not achieving in Reading is regular time at home. We're making sure they get it now #ukedchat #ukedchat Visited three schs today - nobody dressed up for WBD - missed opportunity! @SusanElkinJourn Take them to public library & introduce them to wonders, including staff #ukedchat < libraries happy to do this Don't forget poems (short nonsense ones work a treat) as part of reading experience - you can ALWAYS find time for Spike Milligan #ukedchat RT @playactivities: texts too. Many times texts available are just the popular ones. << that's where libraries come in :-) #ukedchat @raff31 I find some children just don't like novel style books & will happily read comics, text online, poetry & play scripts. #ukedchat I've found is that chn are much more intrigued about books/reading when I share a record of ALL the things I've read over a week. #ukedchat eJournal Ideas for Teachers - used to improve reading comprehension, writing performance, and self-esteem http://ow.ly/47pZY #ukedchat As a child I mispronounced many words because I knew them only from reading. Love it when I hear my grandchildren doing the same. #ukedchat #ukedchat saw michael rosen in a school kids talked about nothing but books for the rest of the week. Alan peat inspirational too RT @TeacherTalks: Don't forget poems (short nonsense ones work a treat) as part of reading-ALWAYS time 4 Spike Milligan #ukedchat @geraldhaigh1 me too :-) #ukedchat Is it the physical reading of books or exposure to content which is important...? I'm wondering about audio books, for example #ukedchat For me reading was all down to my Mum teaching me before I even went to school - maybe Q should be how can we get parents reading #ukedchat Anyone think that compelling children to read x amount each night actually turns them off - becomes a chore? #ukedchat Run books evenings/sessions for parents & children. Try to persuade parents to understand their job as reading role models. #ukedchat Finding an engaging and challenging class reader is really important. Best 2 I found with Y6: The Tulip Touch & Pig Heart Boy #ukedchat #ukedchat Reading stories is vital, but 'telling' stories is just as important. It fosters creativity and imagination @dhulston we had Michael Rosen in for a day at a previous school. He was amazing but I missed it!! #ukedchat #baddateforanpqhresidential Poetry 180 - hear or read a poem on each of the 180 days of the school year http://www.loc.gov/poetry/180/ #ukedchat #ukedchat home reading gave me the chance to try out all my silly voices and regional accents. @TeacherTalks Spike is the best. My kids are warming up to him. #ukedchat @TeacherTalks if you have to compel them something's not right. It should be fun at any age even when difficult #ukedchat ERIC Everybody Reads in Class. Half an hour a day? Teacher too. Easy in primary but do-able in secondary. #ukedchat @mwnm @readingagency do summer reading challenge for children, some libraries setting six book challenge for parents too #ukedchat #ukedchat Any method of getting children into reading has to be a good thing surely. Doesn't matter if it's not a standard method? @bevevans22 @raff31 I quite agree and any reading should be encouraged. Everyone has their own style. #ukedchat RT @acevansIT: #ukedchat Reading stories is vital, but 'telling' stories is just as important, fosters creativity & imagination Treat books as special, don't plonked your Reading scheme in sad ice cream tubs, wrap them, put props with them, lend mp3 versions #ukedchat Well.. #ukedchat After reading some of my fave book in assembly we suspended timetable and did pro-reading activities.

@TeacherTalks Absolutely. Also punishing children for not reading enough at home by making them stay in and read in breaktime. Grr #ukedchat @TeacherTalks Yes... Also using reading as a punishment. Have seen that before... #ukedchat RT @JeanneAWebb: Well.. #ukedchat After reading some of my fave book in assembly we suspended timetable and did pro-reading activities. Books open so many... RT @guernseylibrary: Treat books as special, don't plonked your Reading scheme in sad ice cream tubs, wrap them, put props with them, lend mp3 versions #ukedchat @trees2066 gosh that's awful!

My kids are warming up to him. #ukedchat Schools should have a coherent vision on when children will be read to - this shouldn't be dependent on teacher passions #ukedchat #ukedchat I also think that *making* pupils silent read, whether they want to, or not, is counter-productive. You have to be in the mood. Distinguish clearly between cracking the code (squiggles on page, phonics etc) and learning to be a reader. #ukedchat #ukedchat Have people explored whether students identify themselves as readers? e.g. only associate reading with books, but much more New what kids are reading report out today always an interesting read , can order from http://bit.ly/hKLLfa #ukedchat Often we like to see a Super version of ourselves in a book. Reading areas don't always offer diverse multicultural characters #ukedchat #ukedchat the sad thing is that older students don't enjoy reading and see it as a chore Reading books opens so many doors and builds skills RT @colport: *making* pupils silent read, whether they want to, or not, is counter-productive. You have to be in the mood. < yes #ukedchat @mushychelle That's a very good point - most kids don't see that when they are online they are reading #ukedchat RT @trees2066 @TeacherTalks Yes... Also using reading as a punishment. Have seen that before... #ukedchat >>oh boy, how horrendous! See Reading for pleasure and reading comprehension as two different things #ukedchat Don't making Reading a chore let them read what they want see Daniel pennacs rights of the reader published by walker books #ukedchat Sorry not time to contribute tonight as prepping for an interview. Hope everyone had good WBD. #ukedchat Renaissance Reading works well in some schools. Computer quizzes on books read etc. Can motivate. #ukedchat RT @LibWithAttitude: most kids don't see that when they are online they are reading #ukedchat << all reading should count #ukedchat even though I'm ebook fan, books as lovely objects can impress. 'Ancient Mariner' from silk bound Folio edition had real impact @SusanElkinJourn what is Renainssance Reading? #ukedchat @TeacherTalks remember an actor who hated Shakespeare as he had to use him for writing hundreds of lines at school for punishment #ukedchat @trees2066 I would have loved that though :-) #ukedchat @mushychelle Company that run Accelerated Reader software #ukedchat @cleverfiend not true in my library, we have to work hard to get the right book in the right hand at the right time #ukedchat #ukedchat how do you communicate the benefits of reading to students (and parents)? @SusanElkinJourn I suspect very few people can actually remember when they learned to read (the decoding). It just seems to happen #ukedchat Encourage kids to tell you what they want to read - graphic novels, comics, Guiness World of Records all good #ukedchat #ukedchat Have started to use ebooks in school... Will they ever replace the lschool ibrary completely? @mushychelle Graded reading scheme (1000s of titles - 'real' books). Must pass computer quiz before moving on. #ukedchat #ukedchat Remember little raffa only read footy magazines until Harry Potter,,,,,,,,,, (11) Still reads them (22) and other stuff @colport I agree. At 8.50am I often ask them to do some 'literacy time'. They choose an activity. Some reading, some write. #ukedchat RT @LibWithAttitude: Encourage kids to tell you what they want to read - graphic novels, comics, Guiness World of Records all good #ukedchat @TeacherTalks set an example - if parents spend evening in front of TV and never read, then why should children do otherwise? #ukedchat @te_ach_er still a good idea though if it catches their interest #ukedchat #ukedchat if you don't demand silent reading though, what about kids who want to? (thinking 2ndary lib lessons) (@comport) Can have kids/parents/grandparents reading events - lads night with chips & James Bond books, girlie ones with cupcakes & chicklit #ukedchat #ukedchat I've supported students who don't consider themselves to be readers, put off by 'big books' love @quick_reads @ColinTGraham Too many teachers stop teaching reading once decoding cracked so kids reading fails to develop. #ukedchat @CazApr1 get onto #ukedchat tell others how to make Reading fun @dhulston me too. Not sure if I was very good though!! #ukedchat @cleverfiend agree with you there. It has to be enjoyable or they won't do it. #ukedchat @AntHeald Can see that would be a problem, can't please all but most kids can't cope with silent reading for more than 20 mins #ukedchat It's interesting to visit peoples' homes & see if books are displayed, or even available...w/out a book 'culture' reading suffers #ukedchat RT @bevevans22: @trees2066 Ebooks are great as part of a reading carousel or as a choice. not a replacement though #ukedchat @raff31 *So* important to give a choice of books, e-books, magazines, comics etc so they know reading can be about what they want #ukedchat my head can't keep up with #ukedchat tonight! I'm trying, but easily distracted. @mushychelle There are some fab quick reads out there - stuff from @BarringtonStoke for example #ukedchat @doc_gnome I agree - if it works then why not? #ukedchat RT @LibWithAttitude: have kids/parents/grandparents reading events, lads night + chips & JamesBond bks, ladies: cupcakes & chiklit #ukedchat @LibWithAttitude yes barrington stoke are great :-) #ukedchat Accelerated reader: chn guess answers to quizzes, don't get enough opps to do quizzes so stuck for ages on same book. Hopeless. #ukedchat Some great writing from Year 3 children inspired by The Mystery of Harris Burdick today in World Book Day... http://bit.ly/hxWnQ0 #ukedchat @misshbond def!!! #ukedchat #ukedchat Took yr5 class to local library today. They honestly didnt realise that many books existed! Sad but true... @SusanElkinJourn Yes, I can decode Japanese, for example, but can't read it for pleasure... whereas I can read French happily #ukedchat Back to tips. Spend half an hour or so discussing what we're (as indivduals) reading and do it quite often. #ukedchat #ukedchat what reading materials have you used instead of 'traditional' books to engage readers? I run a weekly lunch club for yr 7 and parents to come and read, paper, magazine, joke book, car manual whatever they like #ukedchat RT @SusanElkinJourn: Tip: Spend half an hour or so discussing what we're (as indivduals) reading and do it quite often. #ukedchat sorry I'm late #ukedchat i'll try and catch up. @AntHeald True - I'm warming to my Kindle but it won't replace books #ukedchat Kids that don't enjoy solo reading often love reading plays in groups , great ones from Rising Stars & others, social and engaging #ukedchat @ColinTGraham agree with you there. Children seeing parents reading at home is really important in its development in the young. #ukedchat RT @guernseylibrary: I run weekly lunch club for yr 7 & parents to come & read, paper, magazine, joke book..l whatever they like #ukedchat @Elmlea1981 welcome :-) #ukedchat Short stories are a good way to re-introduce disaffected readers. Sometimes the length of longer stories is an instant obstacle #ukedchat Many adults love book groups - social, chatty. Try setting them up among children/students. #ukedchat One ukedchat, there's only one ukedchat #ukedchat #ukedchat great to have some library staff with us tonight - any educators paired up with local library to promote reading? @ColinTGraham @SusanElkinJourn and we all love stories and being read to #ukedchat @mushychelle My class blog in school & at home & the kids love to read this in registration.

It doesn't matter what they read but some progression is needed if reading is to develop and improve. #ukedchat Does anyone still enjoy 'choose your own adventure' books? Haven't seen them recently with our children... #ukedchat RT: te_ach_er: Short stories are a good way to re-introduce disaffected readers. Length can be instant obstacle #ukedchat @LibWithAttitude do you really think that? Actually *can't*?? #ukedchat Encourage them to read reviews as well as write them. #ukedchat @MissClamp If that's the case in your school perhaps it isn't being run properly - as you say they need to be able 2 quiz promptly #ukedchat @trees2066 I still have a choose own adventure book at home :-) gaming modern day equivalent? #ukedchat @trees2066 Get them to submit their writing to the Harris burdick website!!!! #ukedchat

@ICTmagic great idea - students reading blog #ukedchat @mushychelle #ukedchat tried to contact my local library to establish a link but had no joy. Everyone seems to pass the book (sorry) lol RT @SusanElkinJourn: Encourage them to read reviews as well as write them. #ukedchat @AntHeald Sorry lost track - can't? #ukedchat Summarised versions of two or three different, known, stories mixed up and mixed together. Students have to separate/identify #ukedchat The BBC Newsround website is another good thing to put on the whiteboard in the mornings for children to read if they choose. #ukedchat @trees2066 #ukedchat used to love choose your own adventure too! my 7yo has read a couple and loved the idea. get kids to write their own! @teachingofsci that's how I got the bug and how I passed it on. #ukedchat @mushychelle Im school librarian in secondary but school and town Libs are ready to work with feeder schools and joint sch events #ukedchat @guernseylibrary @ColinTGraham #ukedchat We all need fiction. Non-readers get it from TV etc. Not as good but fulfils need, I suppose. @Elmlea1981 oh no :-( DM me and I can speak with colleagues at @readingagency to get you a contact #ukedchat My form (Yr 7) enjoy a bit of quiet time for reading before their day starts. As their form tutor I am very grateful for this! #ukedchat @teachingofsci @mushychelle @curricadvocate I remember loving them at Junior School... #ukedchat #boything @Joga5 @trees2066 #ukedchat I tried to do that but the original closing date was a while ago and i never heard anything back :( @guernseylibrary that's great news :-) #ukedchat @mushychelle They also use Twiducate and do a similar thing as the blog. #ukedchat Y5 class enjoyed writing book recommendations for each other so much they asked to set up and run a recommendation area on VLE #ukedchat @teachingofsci Always good to get recommendations, I'll look Charles De Lint up, thank you #ukedchat @AntHeald Oh yes I really do - library lessons always worked best with 20 minutes solo reading, then discussion & play reading #ukedchat @mushychelle @readingagency Ok Will do after #ukedchat #ukedchat do we need to give reluctant readers rewards? With @readingagency adult project 6 book challenge certificates work #ukedchat reading together has huge benefits on the emotional development and relationships too @DanielHugill #ukedchat I hope you read at the same time! Otherwise you're giving wrong message re value of reading. @ShetlandKat #ukedchat every Thursday 8 till 9 , think you might enjoy @teachingofsci This is also good for news http://www.bbc.co.uk/podcasts/series/wnc, but not reading. #ukedchat @curricadvocate #ukedchat true, the power of role model is huge I have photos of staff 'caught reading' on Walls to library #ukedchat @KnikiDavies cooool :-) I remember that! #ukedchat @teachingofsci @trees2066 my son loves those! #ukedchat @Radd1970 No perhaps a little retro for our children?? #ukedchat RT @ICTmagic The BBC Newsround website is another good thing to put up in the mornings for children to read if they choose #ukedchat gd idea RT @Joga5: Schools should have a coherent vision on when children will be read to - this shouldn't be dependent on teacher passions #ukedchat Ask SLT to carry around the book they are reading with them in school & be prepared for kids to ask questions & discuss with them #ukedchat RT @guernseylibrary: the power of role model is huge I have photos of staff 'caught reading' on Walls to library < lovely #ukedchat @mushychelle @readingagency #ukedchat I have set up a riveting reads folder in our school library. The best reviews get a £10 book voucher I remember our local libraries organized a county book quiz... 3 pupils/team, 4 books to read in 1 month... does it still happen? #ukedchat @KnikiDavies @trees2066 @teachingofsci @mushychelle #ukedchat Commodore 64 - cool as! could get kids to design one as website or ppt? Try a sponsored read. Readathon or do your own thing. #ukedchat #ukedchat do events such as @worldbookdayuk and @worldbooknight give opportunity to promote reading? If so, how? @guernseylibrary #ukedchat - nice idea - going to use that! thanks. @trees2066 They still print them but seem to have had a downturn in popularity lately #ukedchat RT @Elmlea1981: #ukedchat I have set up a riveting reads folder in our school library. The best reviews get a £10 book voucher @mushychelle get together as group of schools to do author visit, share the cost and get a sponsor and invite the media #ukedchat @LibWithAttitude #ukedchat I'd love to do this! The whole of my school knows about my love of books though. I need to convince other staff! Does anyone buy First News for their class. My school used to buy it, but stopped.

My school used to buy it, but stopped. What do you think about it? #ukedchat #ukedchat Remember a scene from '3 men and a baby' - guy is reading a car magazine to baby.

RT @Elmlea1981 #ukedchat I have set up a riveting reads folder in our school library. The best reviews get a £10 book voucher. @ICTmagic Never used First News.

Words don't matter, it's the tone of voice... @ColinTGraham @guernseylibrary #ukedchat oooh I like the idea of this. Would definitely engage some of my reluctant readers Sounds small, but am going to take a book in tomorrow and read at same time as children do #ukedchat RT @guernseylibrary: get together as group of schools to do author visit, share the cost and get a sponsor & invitemedia #ukedchat @mushychelle Yes think rewards do work well - NLT Reading Champions is great for this #ukedchat @trees2066 probably, although one lad in my class has just read 'Kes' and another 'Jennings'. Old Man Radd lovesJennings!! #ukedchat RT @TeacherTalks: Sounds small, but am going to take a book in tomorrow and read at same time as children do #ukedchat < fantastic #ukedchat is there a correlation between reading and progress in school? Do we have a duty to try and get pupils reading for their own good? #ukedchat books for very young children on ipad are interactive with voice recording. Follow up with the real book. Always gets them excited ..I run a weekly lunch club for yr 7 and parents to come and read, paper, magazine, joke book, car manual whatever they like #ukedchat Tips for Grading and Giving Students Feedback http://bit.ly/heauFx /via @Edutopia #edchat #ukedchat #ukedchat Books: the air in an upturned boat. J Winterton. Lovely. Children MUST hear + read stories EVERY day @mushychelle Make books - especially fiction - the centre of your teaching world. #ukedchat So much to learn there - as well as enjoy. @ICTmagic #ukedchat I do it every half term and give one to KS1 and one to KS2. Drawback: seems to be the same reviewers that enjoy reading OK so why not have choose your own adventure as a KS2 writing genre if they will engage boys more?? #ukedchat #ukedchat - any ideas for IWB resources that allow reception children to record their planinng / play activities? Skype an author is largely US-based, but still... here's their URL http://bit.ly/IAroK #ukedchat In 2dary enlist help of PE staff, in prev schl year 7 were read continuation of book for 10 minutes at start of every PE lesson #ukedchat One thing that *really* put me off reading at Senior School, was analysing every word. I still don't know the plot of Silas Marner #ukedchat #ukedchat any recommended resources for using with readers? @readingagency just produced free materials http://bit.ly/aAbeqM #ukedchat talking to parents with reluctant readers, emphasise that any reading is good. if it's 'ceefax' then so be it (shows age) @DanielHugill read too! you are their best role model and so cool for them to see you making time for Reading for pleasure #ukedchat @TeacherTalks Brilliant! #ukedchat When I was teaching I always had a book in my bag. #ukedchat Please get children to submit reviews to http://abookaday.posterous.com/ - a side blog coming this weekend with scanned reviews @Radd1970 that's some fantastic #retroreading! #ukedchat @chrisrat neither did George Eliot #ukedchat :) @chrisrat I think I enjoy Shakespeare because we didn't have to dissect one of his plays for 'O' level.... analysis can kill! #ukedchat If you are looking at reading rewards I would never give books - Amazon voucher works well, can use for anything (even books!) #ukedchat @teachingofsci #ukedchat one kid a week gets to use my Kindle and I buy a book...mrs Raffa put them down as expenses on self assessment @chrisrat #ukedchat so agree on the overanalysis - put me off Graham Greene for life!! @bevevans22 @SusanElkinJourn Told daughters I once thought "thereby" was pronounced like "therapy".

@Elmlea1981 That will alway be true & well done to them. But it would be good to get more involved. How about a book theme/genre? #ukedchat http://bit.ly/fHop2R Links to info. on footballers promoting reading. Worth checking out for some children (mainly boys) #ukedchat RT @Joga5: #ukedchat Please get children to submit reviews to http://abookaday.posterous.com/ - a side blog coming this weekend with scanned reviews I don't really read books, but I'd like to one day. - Sixth Form scholarship candidate. #ukedchat @trees2066 Had great group writing project with Y6s using choose your own adventure creating hyperlinked stories. They loved it #ukedchat @chrisrat #ukedchat I agree over teaching certain texts really disengages some children. No wonder they never want to read for pleasure! @curricadvocate I love Greene, but because I could read in my own time! #ukedchat @mushychelle @ICTmagic Didn't find it got read in my previous school but newspapers did #ukedchat @mushychelle designing book jackets can be a way to get the more artistic to develop an interest in books.

Luckily I was already a book lover & managed to survive! #ukedchat In sec sch get teachers other than Eng (PE, Science etc etc) to do assemblies based on their favourite books. Good role modelling. @TeacherTalks Not small at all - great idea! modelling so very important #ukedchat @ICTmagic tried to inspire boys to read more engaging texts- it's worked with some: just had to open their eyes to the right book #ukedchat @reallara That sounds great - using powerpoint? #ukedchat @chrisrat Completly agree. Analysis for the sake of analysis is the death and destruction of every good book! #ukedchat RT @doc_gnome: @mushychelle designing book jackets can be way to get the artistic 2 develop an interest in books & making comics. #ukedchat @geraldhaigh1 I remember a student asking me why epitome didn't end with a -y, after he pronounced it as epi-toam... eek! spelling #ukedchat @garethk007 Good to see someone with positive experiences. #ukedchat #ukedchat I've used Dr Who comic maker with families http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/comicmaker/ Recently went through boxes of old books from mum's loft. Took out my favourites to share with the children. I was young once! #ukedchat @ColinTGraham Shakespeare is amazing - but I can't read it... a hangover from overanalysis?! #ukedchat @SusanElkinJourn We have photos of us science teachers reading up on the wall. #ukedchat RT @hrogerson: We have photos of us science teachers reading up on the wall. #ukedchat @curricadvocate I think so. Our Man in Havannah was the one that hooked me! #ukedchat @Elmlea1981 What about a comic book review to entice the boys? #ukedchat @teachingofsci yes & you can't resell ebooks on eBay!! #ukedchat #ukedchat GOOD analysis is just good reading, and energises excitement in a book or poem. #ukedchat @ColinTGraham used skype lots it's great see fab @libwithattitude if you want great Reading writing project The Write Path #ukedchat @chrisrat Mayhap! Hast thou not also problems with Elizabethan English and the vocabulary? I have similar problems with Burns... #ukedchat @reallara #ukedchat did the same recently - rediscovered Enid Blyton. They cr8 grt discussion about use of language & are a ripping read! #ukedchat do you have a reading shelf for adults where you work? Good to encourage teachers + students to read :-) @SusanElkinJourn as teachers we need to turn to books as a resource rather than googling everything. Show books are useful and fun #ukedchat @mushychelle #ukedchat Excellent, we had a Dr Who author in just before the hols and we're still doing Sci Fi work! Will defo use this! Ta #ukedchat. Final reminder (sorry): 'Unlocking the Reader in Every Child' by Susan Elkin (Ranson Publishing, 2010.) #ukedchat Ensure wide variety of texts available: genre, level, multimodal, graphic. Relate to children's own writing. @Elmlea1981 not that I'm a Dr Who geek... honest ;-) #ukedchat RT @LibWithAttitude: New what kids are reading report out today always an interesting read , can order from http://bit.ly/hKLLfa #ukedchat #ukedchat but yes: do the reading first before dissecting. #ukedchat @SusanElkinJourn thank you for all your lovely tips :-) #ukedchat @mushychelle #ukedchat I have one shelf in the library for parents and staff to loan books. Staff have used but parents seem reluctant @guernseylibrary Why thank you my fine friend ;0) for WP mention #ukedchat @primarypete_ blog post about google apps publishing at 9pm (after #ukedchat) Kids laugh at my 3 diff dictionaries! @SusanElkinJourn as teachers we need to turn to books as a resource rather than googling. .. #ukedchat @teachingofsci now that was 1 book I really struggled with! Wasn't what you'd call reluctant as I wanted to read it.just couldn't! #ukedchat @teachingofsci Youz're nae disrespectin' ma hame are youz, Jimmy but? :-P #ukedchat #ukedchat Check out Inanimate Alice: Digital Storytelling at its best. All can access it, even those with reading difficulties #ukedchat in 12 days @readingagency launching new 'reading groups for everyone' site - will be able to find reading groups locally @hrogerson Yes, saw something similar at Bridge Academy, Hackney. Very good idea. #ukedchat RT @HileryWilliams: #ukedchat Check out Inanimate Alice: Digital Storytelling at its best. All can access it, even those with reading difficulties RT @HileryWilliams: #ukedchat Ensure wide variety of texts available: genre, level, multimodal, graphic. Relate to children's own writing. #ukedchat 5 mins to go about reading! Anyone else published books of students' writing to encourage others to read? @Elmlea1981 @chrisrat Hated the idea of analysing books at A level - felt authors wrote what they wanted. Under 11s even more so? #ukedchat #ukedchat once saw inspirational teacher get his class to sing queens another one bites the dust when his reluctant readers finished a book #ukedchat I often find that kids don't enjoy reading UNTIL they see what really skilful reading looks like and what it can DO. RT @mushychelle: #ukedchat do you have a reading shelf for adults where you work? Good to encourage teachers + students to read :-) How about reading for pleasure in the MFL class... or is that another can of worms I'm opening... #ukedchat @HileryWilliams #ukedchat saw this for the first time last night - fab! You can get downloadble scripts too @mushychelle My pleasure. I've really enjoyed tonight. Feel I'm on home territory! #ukedchat @larfleming I LOVE this for iPad - reading fun! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gew68Qj5kxw #ukedchat @AntHeald what do you tell them they can do? #ukedchat @biscuitnose have you been following #ukedchat tonight. Very interesting thoughts and ideas on reading for children. RT @doc_gnome: @SusanElkinJourn as teachers we need to turn to books as a resource rather than googling everything. Show books are useful and fun #ukedchat @ColinTGraham not at all, good idea :) #ukedchat @SusanElkinJourn hope you'll keep coming back :) #ukedchat #ukedchat we use accelerated reader quizzes based on book. kids take a quiz to show they have read properly… (cont) http://deck.ly/~4QLId @trees2066 Yep. Really,successful and great collaboration #ukedchat @dailydenouement my Compact OED complete with magnifying glass is a constant source if wonder to kids! #ukedchat RT @SusanElkinJourn: @mushychelle My pleasure. I've really enjoyed tonight. Feel I'm on home territory! #ukedchat @reallara @Elmlea1981 absolutely! If only they'd only read it first all the way though, with passion, then if needed analysed #ukedchat I once did a books version 'desert island disc' with my class which worked really well. The group had to agree on 10 books. #ukedchat @teachingofsci Invented language can be diff. Double-plus ungood... etc. But if you enjoy the challenge it changes the experience #ukedchat RT @Elmlea1981: #ukedchat I have 1 shelf in library 4 parents & staff to loan books. Staff have used but parents reluctant < mmm tough! @mushychelle Oh I've taken part before but have been busy for the last few Thursdays #ukedchat. Thanks! Early exit from #ukedchat - thanks everyone... ;-) @ColinTGraham we read Shrek cartoons and French footie magazines in mfl and music websites #ukedchat @teachingofsci @chrisrat That is the point, maybe. Shakespeare, dramas and a lot of poetry are intended to be read aloud.... #ukedchat Interested in reading/writing international project as mentioned by @guernseylibrary ? please have a look http://bit.ly/h8t3iu #ukedchat RT @ysjcelebratere: One Week Today before our awesome Celebration of RE at YSJ!
