In this episode we hear from Mark Furzland from our sister podcast 'The Reading School'. He shares some inspirational ideas for guided reading and how to take learning from the classroom into the home. He reads an extract from 'Treasure Island' and describes how teachers and parents can use texts to inspire all children to develop a love of books.
There is fun and laughter too - along the way we talk about Bob Hoskins, glass eyes, and much more!
