Learning to Enjoy Reading

I am a teacher in a primary school in Northern England. The importance of starting kids early in learning to read is very important because if they are not taught the basics then they become illiterate by the time they are 10. Literacy KS2 is a very important subject to me and my fellow teachers. We make sure that no child slips through the cracks in our class rooms. We expect or students to know how to read well so that they can continue into smart young men and women. Learning to read is vital and if one does not know how to do it then they loose out on any form of education or news of the world. However, it is important to like reading as well as being able to do it. Liking something makes things much more enjoyable then if one has grown accustomed to disliking something.
