International Mother Language Day: Understanding children’s reading

Understanding Children’s Reading: At School and At Home

 

Thursday 20 February 2020 | 7pm – 8.30pm | Room GO1, Building L022, London Road Campus, UoR

 

The Centre for Literacy and Multilingualism (CeLM) is delighted to invite you to an annual event celebrating International Mother Language Day. We all recognise how crucial reading is for children to do well at school and later on in the workplace. But what does research tell us about why it’s important, what children and young people should be reading, and what happens if they don’t read? And what about children and young people who speak a language other than English at home?

This lively event is free and open to all. Join us if you have worked with CeLM before or if you’d simply like to learn more about what CeLM does.
