Abstract
In the UK context, there is a strong, vibrant and exciting reading for pleasure movement happening in schools. This is inspired and supported by the work of Professor Teresa Cremin, the Open University and the Centre for Literacy in Primary Education amongst others. In the Australian context, Emeritus Professor Robyn Ewing, The Foundation for Learning and Literacy, the Australian Literacy Educators' Association, and others advocate strongly for children's reading. Yet, there is still a lot to be done to advance this work in our schools. As a teacher, teacher-librarian and curriculum leader of 25 years, this really matters to me. My recent doctoral study followed four exemplary teachers who were whole-heartedly dedicated to teaching reading for enjoyment in the primary school context. I worked alongside them for many weeks. This is what I learned.
