Concern about children's reading is an international issue
highlighted by continuing OECD research. Government actions such as
the priority given to reading in the review of the National
Curriculum reflect current UK concern. Reading is an essential life
skill not only for an individual's development and life chances but
for social cohesion and a developed democracy. In an era of public
spending cuts it is important to reflect upon the impact that
libraries can have in growing readers for the future. This
much-needed book provides valuable evidence of successes so far
both nationally and internationally, and offers ideas for future
development as well as inspiration for current practice. An edited
collection contributed by expert practitioners, it covers all
aspects of promoting reading to and with children and young people
from birth right through to teenage years, including the following
key topics: - the importance of Bookstart - how children begin to
read - creating young readers - literacy, libraries and literature
in New Zealand - the Summer Challenge in libraries - Stockport does
Book Idol - restoring reading to the classroom - promoting
excellence - shadowing the CILIP Carnegie and Kate Greenaway medals
- local book awards - the sport of reading - libraries and
partnerships - the hard to reach reader in the 21st century -
creative reading. Readership: Offering future scoping for managers
and aiming to inspire partnership and cooperation, this will be
invaluable reading for practitioners and students of librarianship
in both the public and school sectors. It will also be of great
interest to all teachers, consultants and educators concerned with
literacy and reading, and to policy makers in both the school and
library sectors.
