In this session, we will explore practical strategies for creating a school-wide culture of reading and collaboration between teachers, librarians, and administrators. Attendees will learn how to effectively partner with the school librarian to integrate reading into all areas of the curriculum, engage students with diverse reading materials, and foster an environment where reading is valued. We will discuss tools, techniques, and real-life examples of how a strong librarian-teacher relationship can positively impact student achievement and motivation. Additionally, we’ll highlight the crucial role of administrative support in promoting literacy, from allocating time for independent reading and teacher collaboration to championing reading initiatives school-wide. With strong leadership and a collaborative approach, we can create a school culture that not only encourages academic success but also inspires a lifelong love of reading.
