This webinar will focus on creating a community of joyful readers in your school and classroom. We will explore how to help
students find books they want to read, and different strategies to support them when reading independently. Through book talks, reading events, conferences and more, teachers will become confident book pushers and help foster a love of reading for everyone in the classroom. Participants will receive a digital resource pack with materials they can use in their own classrooms.
