OU/UKLA Teachers’ Reading Groups

The OU and UKLA are pleased to support the 100+ TRGs (Teachers’ Reading Groups) across the UK and beyond. TRGs are led by our excellent, volunteer OU/UKLA leaders.

These groups provide free, evidence–informed CPD to enrich understanding of reading for pleasure (RfP) pedagogy and practice. Our aims are:

1. To foster young people’s RfP through supporting members’ own RfP and research-informed knowledge and practice;

2. To support the profession by building a professional community around RfP locally and online; 

3. To share members’ resultant development work on the OU RfP website to inspire and encourage others.
