The evidence for the benefits of reading for pleasure in primary-school-aged children are overwhelming. It is proven (by multiple studies globally) to be the single biggest predictor of academic outcomes at all stages of a child’s academic life. Yes, more than any maths you can practise with your child! In fact, it is also proven that good reading outcomes underpin maths ability – not through coincidence (“a bright child will be good at both”) but the process of reading development actually enables the process of maths cognition. In this document you can find ideas of how to encourage reading at home, what I do in lessons to support reading and its enjoyment, and some compelling facts about the impact of children reading for pleasure.
