A lot of children don’t hate reading. They’re just saddled with the wrong book.

Three simple ways I increase reading for pleasure at home, in the classroom, and in the school library:

1. Pair fiction and nonfiction on the same theme:
A fiction book about the moon alongside a nonfiction book about the moon.
Same subject. Two different ways in.
Children start to tune in to genre while staying anchored in something that interests them.

2. Use reading pods:
Before returning books, children sit in small groups and share what they liked, what they didn’t like, and whether they’d recommend the book and why or why not.
At home, this can be a simple conversation: what stood out, what confused you, would you choose another book like this?
Confidence grows. Book choice improves.

3. Teach a quick book-fit check:
Open to a random page. Hold up a finger for every word that you don’t know.
If there are four or five unfamiliar words, the book may not be the right fit yet. Three will be challenging but may be doable if there’s a real interest in the book.
This gives children a simple, independent way to choose well.

When children choose for themselves, and get to talk about books with more confidence, they feel less overwhelmed, and read more.
This matters because reading, writing, and research go together.
The child who can move between a story and a factual text on the same subject is already building the habits that strengthen writing and deepen understanding.

I teach reading, writing, and research as connected skills.
If you’re a parent, teacher, or school looking for practical ways to build reading for pleasure, message me about online classes and workshops.

Today, Cambridge Dictionary shares an important message.

Three sentences. That’s where he started.
1,500 words later, he’s writing real stories.

The image is AI-generated to protect privacy, but it reflects a real student and real progress.

At the start of the year, Yifan (Grade 8) found it difficult to write more than a few sentences at a time. Generating ideas felt like hard work, and writing stalled before it could begin.

Over the past three weeks, he has completed a 1,500-word story with a clear narrative arc—opening, rising tension, turning point, and resolution.

But the real shift is in his thinking. His story explores a world where the colour blue is being drained away—and a boy who must give up a cherished toy to recover something real helps restore the balance. There’s imagination here, but also decision, consequence, and meaning.

Alongside this, his writing shows steady technical growth: more varied sentence openings, clearer paragraphing, stronger vocabulary, and consistent control of tense.

We didn’t start with perfect sentences. We built fluency first—then shaped and refined through editing.

The result is not just more words on the page, but deeper thinking—and a clear rise in confidence. 💬. If your child gets stuck with writing assignments, I can help them build real confidence through creative writing competence. Message me to arrange a trial session.
