Most effective way however was getting children desperate to read. Pester power is the way to go. No competitions though, that creates idea that reading is only worth doing if we reward it. Where really it should have it’s own intrinsic value.

A1. Not an exciting answer, but having a good library and allowing parents and children to access it seems crucial to me.

A1: Shameless plug but have found showing children the videos of authors talking about & sharing their books on my page, Authors All Together (http://flipgrid.com/14b38f ) can inspire children to go home excited about their books & asking parents to borrow or buy them!

The kids made settings from their class book in shoe boxes using the description, and inferences, from the story. They looked amazing and the kids loved it! Got some great discussion of the text from them too.

A3: Making sure you celebrate children's work and efforts. For me, I like having a balanced approached with what goes up... making sure the environment is in the Goldilocks zone... not too much it overstimulates, but not barren and cold either.

I bang their work up as much as possible so they know it’s going to be acknowledged, appreciated and admired by those who come in and then they work harder on the next bit. My working walls are not pretty but they do the job. Here’s maths from our fractions unit

I’ll catch you up. Some teachers in the edutwittersphere have got some banging ideas for engaging parents with reading and putting on events for them. My maths working wall is messy but nice.
@MrS_Primary has to back all work going on the walls.#PrimaryRocksShow this thread
