Reading for Pleasure
• Evidence suggests that there is a positive relationship between reading frequency, reading enjoyment
and attainment (Clark 2011; Clark and Douglas 2011).
• Reading enjoyment has been reported as more important for children’s educational success than their
family’s socio-economic status (OECD, 2002).
• There is a positive link between positive attitudes towards reading and scoring well on reading
assessments (Twist et al, 2007).
• International evidence supports these findings; US research reports that independent reading is the best
predictor of reading achievement (Anderson, Wilson and Fielding, 1988).
• Evidence suggests that reading for pleasure is an activity that has emotional and social consequences
(Clark and Rumbold, 2006).
• Other benefits to reading for pleasure include: text comprehension and grammar, positive reading
attitudes, pleasure in reading in later life, increased general knowledge (Clark and Rumbold, 2006).
• There is a growing body of evidence which illustrates the importance of reading for pleasure for both educational
purposes as well as personal development (cited in Clark and Rumbold, 2006).

Banded books
In the UK, Book Bands are used across different reading schemes to
indicate the reading level of each book.
Because Oxford Reading Tree was created before Book Bands were
established in the UK, you will see the Oxford Levels alongside the
newer Book Band colours on the back of each Oxford Reading
Tree book.

Research has also fairly well established that success in reading, especially for struggling readers,
requires students to read (Allington, 2005).
A review of studies on student reading reported that time engaged in reading is associated with reading achievement (Morgan, Mraz, Padak, &Rasinski, 2009).
One way to increase the sheer amount of reading done by students is to encourage reading at home. Home involvement has been found to be a key ingredient in student reading success (Fawcett, Padak, & Rasinski,2013).
A large-scale international study of reading achievement among second-grade students found that home involvement and amount of time spent reading at home were the top predictors of student success in reading (Postlethwaite & Ross, 1992).
Several reviews of research into the impact of parental involvement have been remarkably consistent in suggesting improvements in students’ overall learning (Jeynes, 2005) and literacy development (Senechal & Young, 2008).

about the meaning of more challenging words.
