How do we get students to love reading again?
Join us for an interactive, in-person workshop to tackle one of the most pressing challenges in multilingual classrooms: transforming reading from a task into a source of joy.
What to Expect
In today’s assessment-driven and level-focused environments, reading can often feel like a chore. But it doesn’t have to be this way. Using the R.E.A.D. framework—Right Level, Engaging, Accessible, and Diverse—we’ll explore practical strategies to:
- Rebuild students’ confidence in their reading abilities.
- Spark genuine curiosity and interest in texts.
- Ensure every student feels represented in what they read.
Through reflection and actionable insights, you’ll leave equipped to make reading a meaningful and enjoyable experience for every learner in your school.
