Why is reading for pleasure important?

• ‘There is a positive link between positive attitudes to reading and scoring well on reading assessments.’ (Twist, 2007)

• ‘Reading enjoyment has been reported as more important for children’s educational success than their family’s socio‐economic status.’  (OECD, Reading for Change)

Why is reading for pleasure important?

• ‘Regularly reading stories or novels outside of school is associated with higher scores in reading assessments.’ (PIRLS, 2006, PISA, 2009)

• ‘Parents and the home environment are essential to the early teaching of reading and fostering a love of reading; children are more likely to continue to be readers in homes where books and reading are valued.’ (Clark and Rumbold, 2006)
