research summary
Information
Over the past four years, 750 schools
and nearly 1000 teachers have been directly
involved in the Power of Reading
project. As well as a large number of
individual schools projects have run in
individual local authorities including
Brent, Cumbria, Hackney, Southwark, Lincolnshire,
Nottinghamshire, Sheffield, Kirklees,
Southampton, Redbridge and Wandsworth and
also Excellence in Cities groups and
EAZs from Lambeth, Newham, Hastings and Croydon.
The project draws on CLPE’s extensive
experience in the effective use of
literature in classroom developed in
previous projects including The
Reader in the Writer and Boys on
the Margin and publications such as
Bookpower and the Core
Booklist.
Project aims

and children’s pleasure in reading and
raise children’s achievement through
developing teachers’ knowledge of
literature and its use in the primary
classroom.
