“Each interaction between teacher and pupil can lift the print from the page and make it better understood. It is why reading and talking about reading needs to play a fundamental role in each school day”  Alex Quigley

This course will cover how teachers can use disciplinary approaches to support pupils to read demanding and complex texts and what it really means to read like a historian, a mathematician, a scientist etc.  Drawing on the latest research and expertise in the field, teachers will feel confident in employing a range of reading approaches in their lessons to support the delivery of the curriculum.

By the end of the course you will

• have an understanding of how best to teach vocabulary instruction and build subject-specific vocabulary in your pupils

• have practical strategies to support reading in your discipline

• have an understanding of how reciprocal reading can build engagement and independence
