Getting Your Students Reading: Tools for Tackling Text
- Time: 12:00-13:00
- Ros Sykes, Kathryn Devine & Alyssa Held
- Teams (LDTE Network)
Do your students tell you that they find reading difficult, that it takes them too long, that they don’t enjoy it, or that they are easily distracted?
In this session we will look at some of the specialist resources that Library Services provides for both staff and students with print disabilities. We will also look at a couple of favourite tools that are freely available to everyone, and which students and colleagues tell us make reading easier. Plus, we would love to hear about tools that you recommend to your students or use yourself to help cope with reading.
