Pre-reading and post reading activities

Course details

Reading is a thinking activity. We read better when our brains are switched on. Activities before reading and activities after reading switch on our brains and keep them switched on. Both types of activities offer fertile ground for dialogue between students and between students and teachers. This workshop explains such activities and provides participants with opportunities to experience these activities and to plan their own.

Aims

  Understand the rationale for pre-reading and post-reading activities
  Experience various pre-reading and post-reading activities.
  Consider which activities to use in your own teaching context.
