Start with insight, not endorsement.
We are looking for fellow practitioners who can challenge the assumptions, improve the materials and help identify where interest-led children’s newspapers may or may not support existing work.
A five-stage relationship path
01 Insight
Ask for professional insight
A 20-minute conversation about the problem, not a product demonstration. What are you seeing? What are we missing?
02 Useful
Give something useful
Share the field paper, sample newspaper pages, discussion guide or volunteer session pack.
03 Conversation
Create a professional conversation
Invite mixed roles to a small roundtable: Beyond Reading Ability: How Do We Help Children Choose to Read?
04 Pilot
Co-design a narrow pilot
Two schools or groups, 30–50 children, six to eight weeks, one or two issues per week and realistic engagement measures.
05 Evidence
Seek broader support after evidence
Only after testing: case study, webinar, introductions, resource-directory inclusion, larger trial or funding conversation.
Amplify
Introduce the idea responsibly
The goal is one professional understanding the problem and introducing the idea to ten more people who can improve it.
Questions we want to ask first
- Are you seeing children who can read but rarely choose to read?
- What competes most strongly with voluntary reading in your setting?
- Is the problem access, ability, motivation, attention or material relevance?
- What types of material are missing?
- How do you currently measure reading engagement?
- Where do existing programmes lose children as they grow older?
Share a short note
A few lines are enough: your role, the children or professionals you support, the reading engagement problem you are seeing, and whether you are open to critique, a sample pack, a roundtable or a small pilot discussion.
