For me, I always loved to read and I started very early

My little sister is 3 years younger than me

At a time when I started to read, she was still 2 or 3 and could not

So she resented me for spending my time reading and not playing with her

She started to grow a dislike for reading

So, my parents tried to find more playful ways to entice her to read

For example, through the promotion of comics

As a young teenager (12 or 13) she was still not keen to read

So they pushed on the teenage tendency to prefer what is forbidden and told her she could select any book from their bookshelf

My sister’s 1st pick was “the Red and the Black” by Stendhal

It is clearly not a book for a 12 years old and she may not have caught the whole of the book, but it was clearly her 1st love for books

We now very regularly comment on books, recommend one to each other and exchange them between us

2. What are your habits concerning reading?

Page 12: For the love of r eading

The best way to keep yourself physically fit is to exercise every day.

Some days you do more; some days you do less.

The important thing is to make physical fitness part of your daily routine.

The same principle holds for mental fitness.

If you want to be able to think well and to learn well,

you must exercise your mind daily.

As with physical fitness, there are any number of activities you can do to keep in shape.

However, over the long run, the very best way to exercise your mind is to form the habit of reading.

Here is why…

3. Yes, but why read?

Page 13: For the love of r eading

13

Watching television is, essentially, a passive experience.

You sit, you look, and you listen.

The concentration that you have is driven by outside stimulation.

In fact, when you are caught up in a TV show (or even a commercial), it is a lot more like being hypnotized than being aware and present with your thoughts.

4. Difference between watching TV and reading a book

Page 14: For the love of r eading

14

Reading a book, on the other hand, requires active concentration.

As you read, you must put in a great deal of effort to look at the words, figure out what they mean, and build up images, thoughts and opinions within your mind.

Moreover, if you are reading and you stop concentrating, even for a

second, everything stops.Nothing happens until you

start concentrating again.

For this reason, reading regularly forces you to increase your powers of concentration.

Reading also requires you to develop your imagination and your critical thinking.

5. So, why read?

Page 15: For the love of r eading

15

Read! Read in chunks of text, not word for word.Reference the text and discuss books.Keep a list of unfamiliar words and try to use them.Ask constantly, "Does this make sense?" If not, reread or

use other strategies until it does!Read to someone, with someone, and by yourself every day.Set a reading goal. Periodically, assess your goal. Set a new

goal. Keep a record of your progress in your daybook.Build personal reading time to 90 minutes in one sitting

for homework at least 3 times in the year.Use an index card to track if needed.Use colored plastic to help the words settle down if it helps.

III. IDEAS TO FOSTER READINGA. For students

Page 17: For the love of r eading

17

1. Quote your sources to students, share links/articles with students via e-mail

2. Make students read aloud (correcting them on pronunciation)

3. Have 30 minutes (or adapt adequate time) of reading in class every day/session

4. Tell them where they can find resources (things they can read to know more)

5. Simplify texts/choose simple texts for students to read

6. Explain key words 7. Highlight important points in books for students so

they can read them more easily

1. In class good practice (all teachers)

Page 18: For the love of r eading

18

1. Make students familiar with one topic, then let them read if they want to know more

2. 2-3 minutes expression about students’ reading3. Ask them to read a text and answer questions as

a mandatory assignment4. Students must make research on one topic5. Organize press reviews6. Organize group discussions/case studies or ask

them to talk about something they read at home (anything they want)

7. Organize debates

2. Possible in class activities(all teachers for their own classes and subjects)

Page 19: For the love of r eading

19

1. Put books and magazines in the library, build up our resources and then tell students that resources are available and show them where and when/how they can access it

2. Guide students to the library and tell them what they can find there and how/when they can use it

3. Give a reward to students who read a lot (tangible reward or words of encouragement)

3. Library organization(all teachers for their own subjects)

Page 20: For the love of r eading

20

1. Train students on how to read (reading techniques)

2. Ask them if they read and, if not, try to ask them and understand why

3. Explain them the benefits of reading

4. Specific training on reading(teacher in charge of their class)

Page 21: For the love of r eading

III. IDEAS TO FOSTER READINGB. For teachers

Page 22: For the love of r eading

22

Make the exercise of the press review initiated by Guillemette systematic on a monthly basis

Organize a secret vote at the end of each session for the teacher who raised the most the interest for all the others

Give a prize at the end of the year for the teacher who raised the most the interest for all the others (1 winner each time + 1 final winner).

1. Monthly press review

Page 23: For the love of r eading

23

Each teacher/student selects an article they liked and read it aloud to the other teachers/students

This gives place to some questions and a discussion about the topic

And potentially some more readings on the matter will follow thanks to a systematic use of references (source, author)

2. Take some time to read aloud

Page 24: For the love of r eading

24

At a set time each week, EVERYONE in the school stops what they are doing and read something they enjoy for 20/30 minutes.

The key to a successful DEAR is getting all staff and students to take part, consistency as to when and how often it takes place and making sure the students are supported in bringing along something they will enjoy reading on the day.

3. Drop Everythingand Read (DEAR)

Page 25: For the love of r eading

25

Each class / the library could have a wipe-clean laminate poster which could be used to recommend a book / magazine / newspaper / website of the week.

Every student should have the opportunity to recommend something they have enjoyed reading.

Students are four times more likely to read something recommended to them by a peer than by a teacher (MORI poll, 2003).

4. 'Reading of the week' poster

Page 26: For the love of r eading

26

Encourage teachers to request colored and plasticized printouts of the most relevant articles to be kept in library shelves

Encourage teachers, and students, to request business books, newspapers or magazines they heard of, read about on the Internet, or found in PP libraries, and feel relevant, so that we can enrich regularly our library

Organize regular teacher visits PP books stores in order to create a stimulation effect from selecting books together and being able to exchange opinion on which books are more suitable to buy

5. Enrich our business library

Page 27: For the love of r eading

27

Provide post-its, bookmarks or reading notes in the library so that teachers, and students, who read an article or a book can write a quick comment or a more detailed summary / point of view to entice others to read it too

Students and teachers who read the book should leave their names on the bookmark, even if they do not leave a comment, so that future readers can consult them and get their advice

6. Bookmarksin the library

Page 28: For the love of r eading

28

Teachers and students should select the quotes they find more relevant, attractive, funny, well-written from their readings.

They should always quote the book and author.

Quotes can give place to explanations and personal interpretations.

Best quotes could be printed on the walls of the classrooms and library.

7. Organize a competitionfor the best quote

Page 29: For the love of r eading

29

Teachers and students could recommend books or article to each other.

They could comment on them and share opinions or debate.

8. Create a blog on reading

Page 30: For the love of r eading

30

Provide timeslot for librarian/teacher advice on readings when each class can take turn to chose a book and read

Systematically add references to books, magazines, newspapers and websites in course syllabi

Organize the visit from an author

Make a screensaver of a recommended read of the month

Share their favorite authors on Facebook
