MICHAEL'S MANIFESTO FOR READING

Share Michael’s new Manifesto for Reading with pupils, parents and colleagues – expert tips to spark a love of reading in young people.

  • Read as many different types of books as you can – books give you language, thoughts, ideas and feelings.

  • Books show you places and cultures very near and dear to you – and others you may not have come across before. Books can take you anywhere.

  • Books help you to walk in other people’s shoes, and to see things from someone else’s point of view.

  • Read books, share books, talk about books and, most importantly, CHOOSE what YOU want to read. It’s your imagination, so choose what you want to feed it.

  • Books are for EVERYONE!”
