This paper explores reading for pleasure, its importance,
and its impact on literacy attainment and other outcomes.
Although the Rose Review placed phonics firmly within a language-rich
framework that fosters positive attitudes towards reading
and a love of books, this context was lost in the subsequent
press coverage. It therefore seemed important to us to collect
evidence that furthers our understanding of the value of reading
for pleasure and to provide information that will enable parents,
teachers and policymakers to promote reading motivation and
wider reading.
