To reflect on what messages we, as teachers, communicate about reading to learners

Aim

To reflect on what messages we, as teachers, communicate about reading to learners.

Evidence and reflection

Make a list of the reading material you have recently included in your lessons. What reading matter is there on the walls relating to what you are teaching? Is any material in the classroom written by the students or is it formally published? What reading material related to your teaching is on your desk?

Extension

To what extent do you think your students perceive you, like Zoe, as a teacher who reads?
