Primary school teachers
• Define and discuss creative reading in the Primary classroom
• Explore different ways to work with reading texts to help children have a cognitive, artistic, emotional and physical learning experience.
• Read, tell and perform literary texts with children to help them develop language awareness and appropriation.
• Think, plan and carry out a variety of creative “literary” tasks that ignite imagination and creativity!
The workshop explores creative reading strategies and activities in the Primary classroom to ignite children’s thinkability. In this session, we will look at different ways to work with reading texts so as to help children have a cognitive, artistic, emotional and physical learning experience. Interactive and collaborative activities will provide the space for exploration and discovery and, through creative reading, children can develop language awareness and appropriation. We will read contemporary children’s literary texts to nourish our imagination and creativity!
