Description:

In this practical session, we'll explore how the attention economy is affecting our students' reading abilities and their analytical comprehension. We will walk through how these trends have evolved, what's driving them, and share battle-tested strategies to get our students to engage with academic texts again. You'll leave with practical approaches you can adapt tomorrow to help students in any discipline build stronger reading comprehension, sharpen their critical analysis, develop better focus, and help them transform from reluctant readers into more confident academic readers.
