Avid readers have a really big head
start in life.
Young people who love reading perform better in a whole range of academic activities.
They're more fluent, grounded, confident communicators and they're well-prepared for a future
that awaits in higher education and the
workplace.
The best way to nurture any students reading development is by listening, sharing and giving direct
feedback and that's even more crucial
for students who are struggling with
their reading because of learning
difficulties such as dyslexia or those
who are English language learners.
However, listening to your students reading aloud individually takes time and that's something
that busy teachers don't always have a lot of. There are also all kinds of distractions in the
classroom and for young people with
literacy challenges it can be a noisy
stressful place to read aloud in front
of others.
