ReadIT: engaging teens with reading and writing by creating Book Trailers

Join Shirley Brice Heath as she talks from Harvard about young people’s reading habits, preferences and how they choose to interact with texts. Then hear from Graeme Lamb, Bell Baxter High School, and Louise Walker, Maxwelltown High School, as they discuss the uses of book trailers and share some of the skills and understanding they have developed from participating in the ReadIT course this year.  ReadIT is a European commission funded project which aims to develop a tested teaching methodology for book trailers.

If you are interested in attending, please send your name and contact details to Antonia.Clark@scottishbooktrust.com  Places are limited and will be allocated on a first come, first served basis.
