Designed to help teachers and school staff working in a mainstream schools, this book provides practical exercises and advice sheets to support reading. It looks at how reading is taught and why it is such an important skill; how to motivate reluctant pupils; and the positive role teachers can play in supporting literacy.

Suggesting ways to develop the skills necessary for good reading through subject lessons, individual and group support sessions, whole school initiatives, the use of reading mentors and home-school liaison, Guy gives teachers tangible activities that can be quickly applied to their lessons and other activities.
