Three inspirational teachers share their great lesson ideas to engage and motivate their pupils around reading, both in and outside of the curriculum. Year 5 teacher Rebecca Farmer takes us on an inspirational tour of her classroom's reading area and shows us the various ways she is building a reading community. Reading The Crime Scene is a fun and active Year 5/6 lesson focusing on reading comprehension skills using various non-fiction texts as the pupils try and find out 'who dunnit'. Finally, The Reading Web is a great tool to help build phonological awareness and vocabulary at early KS2.
