consequently no business to be
made disagreeable.

Creating a Reading Culture
To be successful there should be:
–a large, varied collection of reading materials
–knowledgeable library and teaching staff who know both the collection and the students with whom the work
–adequate access to reading materials both during structured reading programs and out of school hours
– varied forms of reading materials in an array of reading ability levels

Genazzano FCJ College
To be successful there should be:
–modeling by staff of positive attitudes towards reading and their students as readers
–whole school support for reading as a necessary part of life
–an encouraging, welcoming physical environment
–a sense of ownership by the students of their own reading development and their reading environment

Chambers, A. (1991) The Reading Environment, p. 92.
THE ENABLING ADULT
They provide books and time to read them and an attractive environment where people want to read. They stimulate a desire to become a thoughtful reader. They demonstrate by reading aloud and their own behaviour what a ‘good’ reader does. And they respond, and help others respond, to the individuality of everyone in the reading community they belong to.
