How education technology can help transform reading for pleasure | Sponsored

When it comes to reading for pleasure, there can be a sense that nothing beats a good, old-fashioned paper book. But does this assumption overlook the benefits that technology can bring to the process? In this episode, host Zofia Niemtus meets Rachel Revell, associate principal at Oasis Academy Wintringham and senior national curriculum lead at Oasis Community Learning, and Ian Turner, a reading development consultant. Both guests are big advocates of using smart technology that can track and report on students’ progress, offering a wealth of “actionable data to inform what happens in other parts of the classroom”. This podcast is sponsored by Reading Solutions UK, the home of Reading Plus. Aimed at KS2 and above, Reading Plus is an evidence-based adaptive online reading programme that supports students by developing fluency, vocabulary, comprehension and metacognition - the skills they need to read well and confidently.
