Abstract

As effective educators, we recognise the indispensable role of self-reading, evident in the myriad CPD-related texts available. Metacognition, dual coding, geographical inquiry, effective fieldwork – the list is extensive. However, our focus here diverges from commonplace practices. Instead, we explore how pleasure reading and deep reading can enrich teaching and learning, fostering a more extensive reading culture among learners. For the purposes of this article, the term 'wider reading' includes 'extensive reading,' 'deep reading,' and 'reading for pleasure,' particularly embracing fictional and non-academic non-fiction texts.
