A child's reading personality is as unique as they are and understanding their reading behaviours and preferences is vital when it comes to literacy and reading for pleasure.

If you're looking for ways to engage your students at the moment and keep their reading momentum going at home, knowing how they really feel about reading , what they like to read, how they like to read and how they see themselves as readers is crucial. 

Literacy 360, based on Adam Lancaster's Impact Through Reading methodology and Attitude to Reading survey will provide you with the insights you need.
