#About the event
Duration: 60 minutes
Awaken the love of books for even the most reluctant reader in this special workshop with former Australian Children’s Laureate Jackie French.
Teach your students to ask about stories and interests; let students know they can stop reading; teach them to ‘taste’ books. There are a number of pathways to help students find their ‘magic book’, that will then lead them to another… and another… and another…
“I write for kids to show them not what they might want to be when they grow up, but to help them find the question ‘How do I want to live?” Jackie French’s manifesto
