ReadIT

The ReadIT Course aims to develop teachers’ skills and practice using ICT tools and digital storytelling to produce book trailers as a means of improving engagement with reading and writing in Secondary Schools students.

The project is COMENIUS-funded and will work with teachers from Scotland, Denmark, Turkey, Italy and Romania. We have a short leaflet introducing the course available to read.

This is an exciting opportunity for teachers who want to develop their use of ICT while keeping literature and literacy at the heart of their practice. Participating teachers will take part in a free, comprehensive cpd course and will then be supported to produce book trailers with their pupils.
