Try choral reading. Reading in unison boosts skills in both reading & speaking #OralCommunication #language It boosts confidence & builds community #dyslexia #neurodivergence Plus, it's fun (let's not forget that!) Pls don't force any student to read aloud solo #YouMeanIHaveToStandUpAndSaySomething

We started publishing in 2006 and without the support of Libraries and Librarians, we simply wouldn't still be in existence. They are at the very core of our communities and always go above and beyond to help folk. Support your libraries. @librariesconnected.bsky.social
