What tactics can be used to boost the confidence and engagement of a shy or reluctant reader?

Initially, many children on the Chapter One online reading programme may struggle from a lack of confidence. Some may appear to be uninterested, others may be easily distracted, and some may even tell you they don't want to read. If you are keen to develop strategies to engage a shy or reluctant reader, then this workshop is for you! It will be delivered by Emma Spiers, aka The Learning Lady, a reading and phonics expert with over 20 years of advisory and teaching experience.

This session is part of a series of learning and development workshops designed to support our online reading volunteers. All sessions will last approximately 45 minutes with additional time for questions and are suitable for both new volunteers and returning volunteers.

Please note: the sessions will be recorded and will be made available to view on catch-up for everyone who registered. However, please do try to join us live if you can as you are more likely to benefit from the session - and it will give you the chance to ask your own questions.
