Overview

Regular "library lessons" help students to form connections with their school libraries, develop research skills, and foster a love of reading. Learn two of the approaches taken at Kedron SHS in order to support students' use of the library and add value to school programmes. In 2023, in response to low borrowing data and less-than-enthusiastic attitudes towards reading among Year 10 students, the TENacious Readers' programme was introduced in collaboration with the English department. In this session, Kelly will outline the goals, successes and challenges following the first year of the programme's implementation, sharing borrowing data and feedback from student and staff surveys. In addition, she will share ideas and resources for running engaging library lessons for students in Years 7-8. While this session does focus on activities for secondary school students, many of the ideas can be easily adapted for primary school contexts.
