Programme details:

Why is it so hard to engage some students with reading? Is it just the distraction and appeal on online multimedia options or are there barriers that some students view as insurmountable? How can we open them to the opportunities fluent readers can enjoy and delight in whether fiction or non-fiction. This course will consider ways to make reading more accessible to these students and how we might boost their intrinsic motivation and self-esteem using alternative approaches. Some ideas will be based upon case studies gathered for the book “Playing Games in the School Library” Facet 2021 written by Sarah Pavey.
