SLANSW Professional Learning Summit - Change the Narrative
Workshop Presenter – Friday 21stMarch 2025
Janet Galimi – SORA
Foster a love of reading & learning using concurrent use lending models
Struggle to run a book club as you can't purchase all of the physical copies? Do your students ask to read the same books? How can students access the same book for a research assignment at home? Digital reading platforms can meet these needs to foster a love of reading and learning using the appropriate lending model. Literacy tools also encourage interaction with texts and comprehension to enhance discussions.
