Practical idea - Reading calendars
18 Feb 2011
Take pictures of staff and pupils reading and transform these images into reading calendars which can go up in each classroom. Schools have chosen different themes for calendars, for example a ‘Real Men Read’ calendar which features boys and male members of staff.
Read a case study about how one school put together an extreme reading calendar which helped to raise the profile of reading within the school.
