In this post, I talk about a few of the countless books that pinned me to the page and whetted the appetite for more and more.
Recently, at the New Zealand Literacy Association Conference, I facilitated a session on reading for pleasure in the classroom.
In the last few weeks, I’ve been touring schools, writing articles, participating in, and sharing titles to inspire at WORD in Ōtautahi, and reading all the while.
It seems fitting to begin this blog with the rereading I’ve been doing since hearing of Maurice Gee’s death.
Welcome to this reading-for-pleasure blog, which I’ll be writing over the next two years as part of my Te Awhi Rito | Reading Ambassador role.
