Teaching about books and reading is so important! We have some great ideas for teachers to introduce books and reading to the classroom. Here are five teaching activities to get started:
1. Create a book-themed quiz. Ask pupils to answer questions about their favourite books or characters.
2. Organise a book swap. Get pupils to bring in a book they’ve already read and exchange it with another pupil.
3. Invite an author to the classroom. Invite a local author to talk to the class about writing and books.
4. Set up a book club. Ask pupils to bring in their favourite book and discuss it with the class.
5. Visit a library. Organise a trip to the local library and let pupils explore and pick out books that interest them.
