Research shows that creating excitement around texts is important when encouraging reading for pleasure.  A range of texts were hidden around the playground for children to discover on their lunch break.  These were purposefully selected to include fiction, non-fiction, poetry and comics to appeal to a wide range of children.  If children found a text they could re-hide, borrow, keep forever or leave for someone else to find.  Staff in the playground reported that the children seemed very excited to find books, so this is something we hope to repeat.  Did your child find a book?  Please feel free to share on Twitter using #KPSbooktreasure.  NB:  FMRC choose to use the social media platform Twitter to communicate updates:  @FMReadChallenge if you wish to follow them.
