Discover how to design and implement an impactful whole-school reading program. Drawing from my experience leading a successful initiative in a K-12 environment, this session will explore strategies for fostering a reading culture, enhancing literacy outcomes, and engaging students across all grade levels. Ideal for educators looking to transform their school’s approach to reading.
In an era of declining literacy rates, fostering a school-wide reading culture is more crucial than ever. This session provides a comprehensive guide to designing and implementing a successful whole-school reading program, drawing on my experience as both a school leader and a literacy consultant. I have successfully led a K-12 reading initiative that engaged students, staff, and the broader community, resulting in significant literacy improvements. Attendees will learn how to align the program with curriculum goals, select diverse reading materials, and gain buy-in from key stakeholders. After many years leading school libraries and various literacy initiatives, I now lead ProReading Solutions, a consultancy specialising in literacy improvement. ProReading Solutions offers tailored strategies to help schools design, implement, and sustain impactful reading programs. With over 15 years of experience in the education sector, I am committed to empowering schools to create lasting, effective reading initiatives. Whether you’re looking to start a new program or refine an existing one, this session will provide practical insights and resources to support your goals. This session is ideal for educators, librarians, and school leaders dedicated to enhancing literacy and fostering a lifelong love of reading.
