'Why whole-class reading beats a carousel – and seven ways to ensure it is successful'
DM Crosby
This primary teacher says whole-class reading is the way forward and offers advice on how to make it is a success for your class
Each time we open a book with children it is an opportunity to walk into a new world together, to explore the inner workings of great literary minds and, as their guide, to point out to the children the sights and sounds that could so easily be missed by the untrained eye. These reading journeys are by far the most enjoyable aspect of my day as a primary teacher.
Like many of you, I have made the decision to move away from carousel guided reading in favour of more whole-class reading sessions.
This is firstly because it seemed so wrong to be going on one of these reading journeys and to only invite a fifth of the class.
