Attitude surveys
Download these evaluation surveys to help you on your Reading Schools journey
Resource type: Programme documentation
Audience: Primary, secondary
Key Area: All
Level: Core, Silver, Gold
Please share these evaluation attitude surveys with teachers, learners, parents, and carers to help you plan your activities, measure your Reading Schools programme's impact, and develop the programme in the future.
These surveys look at attitudes to reading and will help you to get a sense of:
- Reading enjoyment
- Reading frequency
- Feelings around reading, reading skill and the purpose of reading
- Favoured genres, formats, authors
- Preferred ways of reading
- Reading at home
- What staff and parents/carers feel would support them to encourage learners to read
- Staff and parent/carer confidence around recommending books for children and young people
You can use these surveys during your action planning process to help you decide what sort of actions and activities are best suited to your school community.
These surveys are also designed to measure the impact of your activities. To do this, use the surveys at the beginning of your Reading Schools journey and again at the end (and at any point in between if you'd like to check on progress). Comparing the data sets will show you whether reading enjoyment and frequency has increased and give you a sense of overall attitudes to books and reading.
We also have a shorter pulse survey which you can use more often with learners if you would like to measure attitudes more frequently. Please share these evaluation surveys with ten learners and staff members in your school to help us measure the impact of Reading Schools as part of your accreditation.
