Listen Later

What if you could engage reluctant readers by asking them to play a video game? On this episode of Teaching Channel Talks, Wendy Amato speaks with Kwamara Thompson about how the Read to Lead program is doing just that. You'll hear about Read to Lead's free games that encourage reading and writing through workplace simulations like managing a health clinic or working as the editor-in-chief at a digital magazine. You'll also hear them discuss more strategies for differentiating reading lessons for learners of all ability levels.
