Read to Succeed: How to Get Your Kids to Read (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781291909975)

'Read to Succeed: How to Get Your Kids to Read' attacks the issues of reluctant young readers. We all know that reading improves your life chances and gives you vital skills required to succeed. The current approach is to encourage kids to 'read for pleasure'. However, Martin Burley (Literacy Coordinator and 'Highly Commended' English teacher in Shine Media Awards 'Most Inspirational Teacher' 2014), believes we are missing a step. Children that struggle to read, won't enjoy picking up a book straight away; they have to understand the benefits of reading first. That's why a child must first learn to 'Read to Succeed'. This book gives parents a six week guide enabling their children to become proficient readers. It accepts that reading may not be fun for some, but it breaks down the key skills, required in all avenues of life, that regular reading helps with. This forms the mnemonic 'SUCCEED' Scheme, Understand, Communicate, Create, Empathise, Enquire & Discover. Can your child 'Read to Succeed'?
