Responsible Reading: Children’s Literature and Social Justice

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
In high accountability cultures, primary phase literacy education tends to focus on improving children’s test scores. Driven by each country’s performance in international league tables, this results in narrow, predominantly skills-based programmes designed to address attainment gaps. While scores may have been enhanced in recent years, there is little evidence that policy directives have positioned literacy in the lives of learners in ways that have become meaningful for them or been transferred into ways of thinking that promote social equity. Indeed, teaching practices that exacerbate the challenges for those young people who are already disadvantaged by circumstance have become more prevalent. Teachers, therefore, have an ethical responsibility to redress this through their teaching. This paper argues that literature is core to more equitable literacy development. As not all reading practices are equal, developing literacy education for a more socially just society needs to challenge the dominant pedagogic hegemony. Literature has the potential to spark the kind of mindful disruption necessary to shift standardised paradigms of thought, so literacy education should have children’s literature at its heart. By examining the value of literature through a set of complementary lenses, this paper seeks to reveal its affordances in young people’s lives. Then, through commentary taken from a pair of vignettes drawn from professional learning contexts, we illuminate shifts in teacher perception gained through scaffolded introduction to reading literary texts. The insights teachers gained reveal reconceptualisation of reading and the role of literature in primary education. This has the potential to redirect their future classroom practice. Consequently, we propose that for teachers to be adept at improving literacy outcomes through productive adoption and use of literary texts, they need: an aesthetic appreciation and knowledge of children’s literature; personal experience with reading such literature as social practice; and pedagogic insight into how to use literature to teach literacy and develop volitional readers. We call this knowledge set the additive trio, noting that no ‘step’ or understanding is sufficient on its own, and that together they can enable the development of Reading Teachers who work with literature to advance the social justice agenda.

Maximise the impact of new approaches and practices.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Rachel intentionally and skilfully uses specific practices such as:

Extending;

Imitation;

Questioning;

Repetition; and

Prompting to implement the approach.

Successful interactive reading tends to involve a prompt to encourage interactions between the adult reader and child(ren). Prompting is the act of drawing attention to something related to the book being read that encourages a response from the child, such as asking questions or allowing the children to complete the sentence. For example, in the video Rachel prompts the child to open the flap on the page, she then uses a completion prompt to encourage the child to say the word ​"dog".

There are a few tools that might help adults' planning and thinking about their approach to reading, such as the CROWD and PEER framework ( EEF ​'Preparing for Literacy' Guidance Report).

More than just reading a book!

Compared to passive reading, interactive reading requires children to adopt a more active role as, for example, the teacher asks children story-related questions and encourages them to respond to the story (Mol, Bus, and de Jong 2009; Mol et al. 2008).

Spoken interactions, for example word use in exchanges, dialogue and conversations, between the reader and the child go beyond the text in the book; the more the child participates or responds, the more their oral language skills develop.

Using open questions encourages children to talk about their own ideas and experiences in relation to the story. It is through these stimulating conversations that children become inspired to engage in a story.

When you watch the approach of interactive reading in action, the knowledge and skill of the educator are clearly visible. A key finding from the evidence in the Early Years Evidence store is that staff are likely to benefit from training or professional development to use the approach effectively.

What makes the approach of interactive reading a ​'best bet'?

The EEF Early Years Toolkit reports that communication and language approaches such as interactive reading have a low cost to implement, and typically have a high impact, boosting young children's learning by up to seven months.

All children appear to benefit from such approaches, but some studies show slightly larger effects for children from disadvantaged backgrounds.

However, there are indications that settings should use a range of different approaches to developing communication and language skills, as it is unlikely that one approach alone is enough to secure young children's development and progress.

including their communication and language. but evidence suggests that “interactive reading” - during which an adult encourages a child to talk about the story – can be a particularly effective approach.  what is ‘interactive reading?’  the eef early years evidence store describes ‘interactive reading’ as:  the adult engages in considered actions within the context of shared reading (either one-to-one or with a group of children) that encourage children to become an active participant in 'reading' the book (e.g.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.keywords[]
or questions). over time the balance of who ‘reads’ or facilitates discussion about the book being read passes increasingly to the child.  in the early years evidence store we can watch rachel (a childminding assistant) use the interactive reading approach as she reads a familiar story to an 18-month-old child.   rachel intentionally and skilfully uses specific practices such as:  extending; imitation; questioning; repetition; and prompting to implement the approach.   successful interactive reading tends to involve a prompt to encourage interactions between the adult reader and child(ren). prompting is the act of drawing attention to something related to the book being read that encourages a response from the child

In 2019 The Siobhan Dowd Trust is repeating the opportunity for schools to go to a local bookshop (preferably a small Independent bookseller with a good stock of children's and YA books) and select books. This year instead of organising by region, we will be giving away up to £2000 monthly.
Here are some guidelines:

The selection is to be made by a small number of pupils aided by Librarians and Booksellers. Part of the aim of this project is to encourage the art of browsing and for young people to feel ownership about the books chosen for the school. We are assuming the books will be part of the library, but are happy to consider applications for home/ individual ownership - please say if this is the case.

Where possible, we would like the pupils to be PP or need encouragement/recognition in some way.

It would be great if you could publicise the visit in the local press and on social media (we prefer Twitter to Facebook).

This year instead of organising by region, we will organise it monthly. If successful, you will be notified by email and all the winners will be listed on Twitter and on the Trust website.

We announce the winners of each month on the 1st of the month using our Twitter (@sdowdtrust)and by a direct email to the winners (e.g. January winners = 1st March announcement; February = 1st April... this is to give the Judges time to allocate the grants.)

Because of the high numbers applying, we're sorry, we may not be able to notify unsuccessful applicants.

The Judges reserve the right to go back to previous entries from past months (so if you don't win in the original month you applied, there's a chance you could be successful later in the year).

The competition is open to any group which works with disadvantaged young people, not just schools. We'd like to hear from more non-school groups, but you do need to demonstrate disadvantage in your application.

How to apply:
Please send a short email to our director Kate Powling (director@siobhandowdtrust.com) explaining what you do to encourage a love of reading - small anecdotes about particular young readers can work well.
We also need your school's FSM and PP figure as a percentage and the number of pupils at school. (A low number isn't necessarily a bad thing as we know those schools have less funding). Without this information, your application will be delayed.
We don't need: lots of educational information about progress - we know that's important, but we're more about the love of reading.
For more information, please see http://siobhandowdtrust.com/teachers-and-librarians/ or Twitter: we're @sdowdtrust

As the new term starts teachers, support staff and parents have been faced with a last minute turn around regarding the opening of schools and once again on-line learning is to be adopted for the majority of the children across England.

When the first lockdown took place in March 2020 I compiled a list of online resources linked to children's books and reading for pleasure in the hope that it would be helpful to teachers, school librarians and parents. As new resources were produced I updated the lists and over the following weeks these various resources were shared many times. They are going to be needed again. I have spent some time checking and updating links and have also added some more. The presentation has been adjusted slightly so that they are organised into a more readily searchable structure. I hope they are useful to you and help ease the stress of the situation a little.

In March 2020 I wrote this and it still applies. Thank you to all the generous people who rose to the challenge then and are doing so again,
Today all over the country teachers and parents are preparing for schools to be closed for an indefinite period. Teachers are faced with creating ways that children can access education online and parents are wondering how they can home educate or occupy their children. Thankfully organisations, charities, authors, illustrators, school librarians and teachers have been sharing resources for several days. This is extremely generous but at times the vast quantity available can feel bewildering. Therefore I have selected some book related resources that I think primary school children will enjoy and parents will find useful. I hope to update these on a regular basis without making the list too long and overwhelming. Organisations, Charities and Literacy Websites

Read a thousand lives through reading

My favourite quote about books is the one by 'Game of Thrones' author, George R.R. Martin, who wrote:

'A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies. The man who never reads lives only one.'

What he meant by this, is that if you don't read books, you only get to see the world through your own eyes, and only ever get to experience things that happen to you directly.

When you read a book, on the other hand, you have the opportunity to 'get inside' someone else's head - to hear the thoughts they're thinking, to feel what they're feeling and to experience all the life events that they encounter, if we only read books about people who are like ourselves, there are far less opportunities to explore the full range of human experience, and to learn from other people's lives, even if those lives are fictional. To get the most out of our reading experiences, we should try to read about a whole range of people who have different abilities, backgrounds and cultures.

Here are a few things that can help you to broaden your reading horizons.

Challenge 1: Analyse the books in your school library or class bookshelf

Take a look at the books you have available in your school library or classroom. Are they about people like you, or do they reflect different people's experiences? Are they mostly about boys, or mostly about girls? Are there any about people who have disabilities? Are there any that are set in a different country?

You could try drawing up a table to record the different types of books you have available. First discuss as a class what you'll be focusing on and what you'll record. For example, you could record:

What the gender of the main character is

How many books have a main character with a disability and what that disability is

How many books feature white or BAME main characters

How many books are set in other countries

These are just a few ideas to get you started - there are lots more categories you could choose.

Once you've analysed all of your books, discuss the results together. Are there more main characters of one type? Are there any characters, experiences, disabilities or cultural backgrounds that aren't represented?

Challenge 2: Diversify your reading

If you find the books in your class or library reflect only a narrow range of people and experiences, and you'd like to read about different characters with different experiences, Scottish Book Trust has lots of online book lists you can check out to help you pick some more diverse books, including books that feature neurodiversity or disability for 9-11 year olds or 12-14 year olds.

Have fun on your reading adventures - if you keep reading a wide range of books then maybe you'll get the chance to live those thousand lives!
