About this Talk
Most of us are familiar with Dr. Hollis Scarborough's Reading Rope - all those complex and dependent strands intertwining and culminating in what it takes to be a skilled reader. In this talk, I explore how at Princecroft (a Sounds-Write training school in the South West) we teach literature in a manner just as urgent and methodical as phonics and spelling. Reading for pleasure is a relentless mission. We nurture the intrinsic love of reading for every child as a basic entitlement.
