Teaching Skills: Reading with Young Learners

This session is aimed at teachers who work with Kindergarten and early Primary level learners. We will look at how to introduce and develop learners’ reading depending on their age and stage of development. In addition, we will explore activities you can use with your learners in class to engage them in reading and to start building their reading skills.

For the best experience, attendees should have:

• a computer or ipad style device (a phone will also work)

• stable internet access

• a headset with microphone

• a webcam

Attendees will also receive a certificate of attendance which includes the number of teaching hours.
