Read To Succeed: Strategies to engage children and young people in reading for pleasure

摘要

Read To Succeed promises to discuss "strategies to engage children and young people in read for pleasure", editor Joy Court opens the book with the Flaubert motto; "Read to Live". This sentiment is carried through this book with a variety of stories all about encouraging young people to not only learn how to read, but how to read to live. The authors are from all corners of the globe and speak in a variety of professional voices. There are librarians and educators (as one would expect) but also a journalist, a marketing professional, a YA author and a professor of psychology. Stories are primarily from the UK but are also from New Zealand, The USA, and Australia.
