What do young and SEND children want to read? What leads them to choose a particular book?

Join us for a light-hearted academic conversation about reading choices and reading for pleasure, based on the findings of our action research.

Our research question: "If children attend a theatre performance of a fairy tale, do they choose to read more fairy tales as a result?"

Emma Boor (Wild Boor ideas), Jules Pottle (Storytelling Schools, Artful Fox Creatives) and two small elves will share what they have learned. Hosted by Professor Nicholas Perkins (English).
