In this seminar, Sue Bodman and Glen Franklin, authors of Which Book and Why, are joined by Chris Ratcliffe, Head of Education and UK Export, Scholastic, and Bex Shore, Reading Recovery Teacher Leader to discuss book choice and to consider what elements in text support instruction and how these influence practice.
Issues addressed will include:
- How do we match the text to the reader?
- What do we need to consider?
- How is choice of book influenced, in addition to what level or band, by the purpose of instruction - 'what does this child need to know next and how do I teach for that?'
There will be an opportunity for discussion and questions at the end of the session. This session would be of interest to classroom teachers, reading specialists, and literacy leaders.
