Webinar: School improvement planning with Reading Schools

This is a recording of a live webinar held in February 2024 discussing the rich evidence base around reading for pleasure, extracted data from our Reading Schools evaluations and an exploration of how Reading Schools can support the school improvement planning processes.

We recommend watching this recording if you want to find out more about UK and international research on the importance, impact and benefits of reading for pleasure. This session includes direct sources for further exploration and evidence from our 2019 to 2023 Reading Schools evaluation(this will open in a new window).
