Scholastic Professional: The Power of Joyful Reading: Help Your Young Readers Soar to Success by Eric Litwin (author) and Dr. Gina Pepin (author) (UK edition)

When young children are immersed in joyful and engaging shared reading experiences throughout the day, something wonderful happens. They learn to love books, enjoy reading, and see themselves as readers.

Eric Litwin and Gina Pepin give you what you need to transform your classroom into a “reading playground” -a space in which children read along to, sing to, dance to, and celebrate words and texts. A space in which they experience the power of joyful reading.

This is an accessible text suitable for practitioners working in Early Years and KS1. The book enthuses about approaches to teaching reading joyfully. With RfP high on the agenda in English schools this makes this short book pertinent to settings looking to embed Reading for pleasure.
