Practical ideas - Involve the PE department

16 Feb 2011

If yours is a secondary school, involve the PE staff. Some of your pupils could create a special PE department ‘recommended reads’ set of posters, or make a ‘get caught reading’ display featuring PE staff. It is also a good idea to place reading posters of sports stars in changing rooms or gyms.

This idea works well with reluctant readers, and boys in particular.
