One of Caroline’s roles at national charity Read for Good is leading Read for Good’s Big Read pilot intervention in schools, designed to get the hardest-to reach children reading for pleasure. Caroline is a former teacher and undertook her doctoral studies at the Florida Centre for Reading Research, focussing on reading development and vocabulary acquisition. Her expertise in children’s reading for pleasure and reading disabilities such as dyslexia, helps to drive Read for Good’s child-centred approach. Read for Good’s programme in children’s hospitals and its Readathon for schools (see https://readforgood.org/how-it-all-works/) encourage children to read whatever they fancy- from comics to classics – in the belief that if they have a chance to find something they can read, and like reading, they’ll choose to read in their own time.
