Rethinking Nonfiction and Progression in Reading with Nikki Gamble

In this webinar, Nikki Gamble talks about the insights from a 6-year project on subject reading in primary and lower schools. The project has involved working with and talking with scientists and historians. She will outline some challenges and benefits, distinguishing between the primary and secondary school contexts.

Nikki will then examine a range of texts, focussing on their potential for teaching in English and planning for progression with nonfiction texts. It is essentially a primary perspective and Nikki will consider some elements of subject-specific reading in this context. The session is most likely to be of interest for colleagues working with Years 1-8.
