Children need to have time, and be taught the skills, to share and discuss books with others.
Introduce book-talk in an inclusive way, recognising that children may like to share their opinions in different ways (e.g., oral, written) and to different people (e.g., friends, whole class, anonymously, etc)
Develop children’s skills and confidence to contribute to book-talk if this is new to them.
Social reading activities can extend beyond the classroom. Involve families and the local community in your own schools’ reading community.
