Teachers’ Knowledge of Children’s Literature: the Cornerstone of Reading for Pleasure

Teresa Cremin, 2019. Scottish Book Trust

Those who choose to read for pleasure are often high achievers in both literacy and numeracy. In this article, Cremin discusses how important it is for teachers to develop a rich and wide knowledge of children's literature. At the same time, they must be able to model their enjoyment of reading so they can nurture reading for pleasure in the classroom.
