Inhouse Training
Creating a Reading Culture Across Your School
Support every pupil to become a reader by embedding reading into daily life, teaching and relationships — across all roles, subjects and key stages.
Building a reading culture isn’t just about book corners or phonics schemes — it’s about shared values, habits and visibility. This course helps all staff contribute meaningfully to a culture where reading is normal, joyful and integral to school life, especially for those who may not encounter it elsewhere.

- Understand the role of all staff in promoting reading
- Make reading more visible, valued and discussed across school life
- Help pupils build positive relationships with books
- Use reading to strengthen inclusion and confidence
- Develop consistent messaging about the importance of reading
