About a Reader Teacher   
Hello and welcome to my blog.

I am an avid reader who tries to enthuse a passion for reading in as many children as I can. I currently teach Year 5 but am constantly buying, reading and pushing a range of books onto children throughout my school (from Years 1 to 6). I use new texts in a range of ways; from lending to children to discussing in book clubs and initiating writing in my lessons. As English Lead at my school, I am always thinking of new ways to encourage reading and use new texts to do so. 
​
I am using this blog to share my personal opinions of books I have read and ways I have used them - or plan to use them - in and around the classroom. Please share your own opinions or suggest books for me to read.

Comments or Suggestions?

Please feel free to comment on any page or tweet me with any suggestions for new books. I would also love 
to hear any teaching ideas using texts I have discussed.
