How Can We Encourage Our KS3 Pupils to Read for Pleasure?

Join us for an engaging TeachMeet exploring how we can inspire KS3 students to develop a genuine love of reading. This session will focus on practical strategies and the importance of reading for pleasure in building confident, motivated readers.

We’ll define what reading for pleasure means and why it matters. You’ll explore how reading for pleasure can be embedded into the KS3 curriculum in meaningful ways and how it supports broader learning across subjects. We’ll also discuss the central question: Can pupils be told to read for pleasure?

Finally, we’ll share effective strategies to help foster a lasting love of reading in your KS3 students.
