"Reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body." Richard Steele

The ability to read is one of the strongest predictors of future success.
Although reading can be taught in a classroom,
it must be practised.

When students voluntarily read, they practise and enforce what is taught in the classroom.
Michael Jordan can teach you to how to throw the perfect foul line shot, but if you don't ever practise the skill, his instruction is worthless.

OECD “Reading for Change” 2002 found that“Being more enthusiastic about reading and a frequent reader was more of an advantage, on its own, than having well-educated parents in good jobs”

“Finding ways to engage students in reading may be one of the most effective ways to leverage social change."

“Books rule! You don’t have pictures to tell you how to imagine something, you can do it yourself! Books can do what no machines can, and probably never will. For example, time travel and they can take you to other dimensions! They are somewhere to go when you just want to escape the real world!” Dani, 13

The teacher said, “If you don’t behave I won’t let you use the computers. You will
have to use the books instead”.

“A significant number of boys would rather chew off their own right leg than confess to enjoying reading and writing.” Alan Gibbons

“My general experience of dyslexic students who have difficulty reading is that the more they read the better they get. … Clearly once a dyslexic always a dyslexic, but practise makes (closer to) perfect. So the more practise of reading for pleasure the better.”
Martin Truckle, NCTC SENCO

“The research evidence suggests that encouraging reading for pleasure could be a way of contributing towards raising educational standards and combating social exclusion.”

“Boys need to be led towards reflecting on what they have just learnt. Reticence to reflect is a fundamental gap in boys’ learning processes. Whole school support for reading initiatives (fiction) can significantly aid this process.”

“Sustained reading to my mind is essential for developing a world they would want to
live in. The reading does not need to be fiction but I do believe that kids need
reading stamina. Just like you have to stick at anything and practice etc surely
you need to do the same with reading.” Ingrid Hopson SLYA 2007
