I love books, I have just put down 'Fizzlebert Stump - The boy who ran away from the circus and joined the library' in order to write this blog post. I love that moment when reading aloud to a class, the bell rings and the children moan in horror when they realise that that they won't hear what happens next until the following day. Books are powerful learning tools when used correctly. However, as discussed in my previous post 'Mission: Engender a love of reading' some children do not enjoy reading. There is some debate as to what constitutes a reluctant reader. I call them the 'Don't, Won't and Can't readers' We need to engage them in the reading process through a variety of methods.

I totally agree with this article. I rarely comment, but this is important to my children who are on the Autistic Spectrum. Some of them are really reluctant readers, yet when film is introduced they get IMMENSE enjoyment and satisfaction from the input.They are able to identify with characters, discuss what is happening in any scene and can write desriptions of the film beautifully. Thank you for acknowledging the use of this wonderful resorce.
