Reading for Pleasure Research Project

At Lapal we are delighted to be part of a research project group which will focus on developing reading for pleasure in conjunction with the Open University and UK Literacy Association.

As part of the project, we will be exploring the engaging resources provided by the Open University (OU) Research-Rich Pedagogies and supporting staff in developing our Reading for Pleasure (RfP) pedagogy, knowledge of children’s literature and the children as readers and enabling us to build reading communities within and beyond school.

Last night we launched our first CPD session for the staff of Lapal and are now starting our own journey to develop a real love of reading, ensuring that our children have opportunities for choice, independence, collaboration and most importantly, enjoyment when it comes to reading for pleasure.

We will keep you posted on how our project is progressing.
