Decline in Volitional Reading: Evidence informed ways forward

Join Us Online for Decline in Volitional Reading seminar with Teresa Cremin, Sarah McGeown and Anezka Kuzmikova

In the light of the benefits associated with volitional reading, the global decline in young people’s attitudes to reading is prompting urgent policy and practice responses. In this seminar, having briefly examined this context, we will consider prevailing myths about reading for pleasure that constrain effective action and propose principles and enabling, culturally responsive pedagogies that offer ways forward.
