Description

This episode offers advice, ideas and examples for effective library provision in the primary school, including tips for whole-school literacy support.

We meet with two primary school professionals and an expert from the National Literacy Trust to get their view of what makes for excellent primary school library provision.

We discuss how to create a thriving school library provision when space and budgets are limited – including advice for schools that do not have a dedicated library space.

We also look particularly at how school library provisions can support literacy and reading outcomes, including reading for pleasure, as well as offering support for all curriculum subjects.

Our panel – which includes the school librarian from the School Library Association School Library of the Year – offer a lot of practical, tried and tested ideas for school library provision and library initiatives, including numerous ideas to help pupils develop their reading skills and love of reading.
