Presenters - Kirsten Barrett and Hannah Sycamore

Kirsten Barrett and Hannah Sycamore have been leading Teacher Leader Groups (TRGs) for the last two years in Glasgow, Scotland. 

Now that Kirsten has moved to Ireland, she is keen to bring this free, evidence-informed CPD to Ireland, which will enrich your understanding of Reading for Pleasure (RfP) pedagogy and practice.  Kirsten has taught for 15 years across different stages in Scotland and Hannah is a newly qualified teacher with a background of working with the Scottish Booktrust.

They are both passionate about the importance of all children reading for enjoyment and the impact it has on their lives.  They are linking closely with the LAI (Literacy Association of Ireland) to enrich the whole series of webinars.
