VIRTUAL EVENT: Choosing and using high-quality reading apps with primary children
04 Jun 2020, 11:00 – 11:30
Drawing on the latest research on literacy and learning Dr Benton and Dr Vasalou will share their expertise in choosing quality reading apps and discuss how they can be most effectively used at home.
There will be opportunities for parents to ask questions in advance as well as during the session, and accompanying resources will be made available for attendees to support parents using these apps as part of at-home learning.
This event is part of a series of weekly interactive online events for both parents and children to celebrate the iRead Project's recent 'Hungry Little Minds’ quality mark award from the Department for Education.
