This course takes you on a journey to understand your own childhood and adult reading to inform the way you can best support children and young teens to develop as readers. Find out how to talk about reading in a way that is non-judgmental and relaxed. Whether you are a keen reader yourself or a very occasional one, the course will help to develop skills to grow self-esteem in young readers.
