The target group for #SocialReadingSpaces was disengaged Year 8 students who could read, but chose not to. The trial posed the question: if you give teens what they want and need *through* reading, can you change their ideas *about* reading? #SLAConference #readingforpleasure #eduskyuk #booksky
Alison David from @harpercollins.bsky.social UK shares the Social Reading Spaces study on the main stage of the #SLAConference this afternoon. What happens when you give Year 8 disengaged readers the opportunity to participate in a social book club with no remit to read? Amazing things!
Wishing all the team, attendees and exhibitors, a fantastic first day at the #SLAconference.
I'm very much looking forward to joining them tomorrow, for what looks like a great Saturday! 👍
