Sue Leather Webinar on Extensive Reading: a date for your diary

Many of us  have used graded readers written by Sue Leather to spark motivation for extensive reading.  This webinar is a chance for us all to get inspiration for teaching from the writer herself.

So if you need to get up in the middle of the night for this..it will surely be worth it!

 Sue Leather on Extensive Reading — ‘The story’s the thing’

 Characterisation, narrative style, description and plot …….

With ‘story-led’ readers, where these features are the important driving force, students at all levels can study ‘literature’.

How can original readers help you and your students to explore these features of narrative? During this session, you will be involved in some multi-skill activities which you can take away and try out with your students at all levels.
