School I give permission to record or livestream Presentation (45 minutes)
How to Keep a Large Class Reading with Xreading
I teach in a Mongolian public school in Ulaanbaatar with average class sizes of 35-40. This presentation will explore how I use Xreading to get my students reading and to keep them reading. We will discuss and explore: getting started with Xreading; getting and keeping students reading out of class at home; using Xreading for in class reading; motivating non-readers and reluctant readers; how I use data; and how I involve parents and families. I will also explain the benefits of using Xreading for all students to read the same book at the same time together in class, and the benefits of having everyone read individually their own book choices at their own chosen level at their own speed. In Mongolia using Xreading is a dramatic shift from mostly just teaching grammar exercises and I want to encourage others to make this same exciting change.
