Schoolchildren become researchers for sibling reading programme

2 mins read
Primary school children research how their younger siblings engage with books provided by Dolly Parton's Imagination Library.

Engaging with children means different things to different people. In Nottingham, the Small Steps Big Changes (SSBC) partnership has embraced the principle of participation, and as part of their local evaluation have incorporated a group of local primary school children to take on the role of researchers. The children have been entrusted with investigating the effectiveness of an intervention designed to boost the home learning environment.

The work is being undertaken by the Nottingham Centre for Children, Young People and Families (NCCYPF) at Nottingham Trent University, who have been commissioned as local evaluation partners to SSBC and have involved both children and parents in an evaluation of the impact of its work.
