Survey of Reading for Pleasure Initiatives

8/8/2013

0 Comments

 
SLANZA is part of the National Reading Initiatives Group, which is a range of organisations that are working together to map summer reading programmes across New Zealand.  The group wants to establish a nationwide summer reading programme, linking schools, families and public libraries, but we need to establish a baseline first.  If your library or school runs a summer reading programme or summer reading activities, we would be very grateful if you could complete the survey.

Reading for Pleasure Initiatives Survey


The Reading for Pleasure Initiatives Survey is being conducted by the New Zealand Book Council on behalf of the National Reading Initiatives Group, which includes SLANZA. The aim is to map the range and spread of reading engagement initiatives in New Zealand, and to identify particular areas of need, as well as opportunities for collaboration and co-ordination.

 
We would greatly appreciate you taking part in the survey if you manage or co-ordinate a reading engagement programme or initiative.

 
The survey is an online questionnaire hosted by SurveyMonkey. Please read the following points before using the survey link below to begin:

·         Please complete the survey separately for each discrete initiative run by your school.

·         This is a survey of reading engagement activity and programmes across New Zealand, and its focus is reading for pleasure, as distinct from literacy programmes.

·         The questions refer to the way your initiative stimulates engagement in reading or an interest in books by New Zealanders.

·         Once you begin, your answers will not be saved if you leave the survey and return to finish it later, so it will need to be completed at one sitting. Below is a copy of the survey questions, for your reference. We recommend you review the questions in this document before beginning the survey.

·         If you would like further information about the National Reading Initiatives Group and this project, you can read it here: www.bookcouncil.org.nz/users/Image/General/Downloads/National Reading Initiatives Group_Survey.pdf

·         The survey period ends on Friday August 23. We thank you for your responses before then!

Please don’t hesitate to contact us at [email protected] if you have any questions or problems with the survey. You can also contact Catriona Ferguson at the Book Council on 021 02482637 if you have an urgent enquiry or problem.

Thank you
