The aim of the “READ & REACH” program is to foster English reading, writing, and creativity through highlighted authors’ writings and books. In the scope of the program, readers at different levels of English language are enabled to engage in extensive reading experience both speaking and writing. One of the engaging part of this program is "Speak to an Author Meeting" which offers an opportunity for ER readers to meet authors of their favorite stories. A reading theme is chosen per month or quarter, named after an authentic author feature or publishing house on Xreading VL. We will be sharing our insights on this unique experience of Author Meetings with educators, ESL teachers and graded book authors of ERWC7.
