Are there differences among how we read and how our students read?

“When students enter college environments, they…encounter texts and readings that they have never seen before. … [T]hey will likely not have experienced exposure to the kinds of rigorous texts that define learning in higher education. From peer-reviewed research articles to white papers and policy briefs, students in college encounter new genres of reading… Yet they may not have necessarily have accumulated the experiences to help them approach and respond to these readings with clarity” (Cohn, 2021, p. 10).

In this session, we will discuss strategies for introducing your students to ways of reading new and different text genres that they may not have been exposed to in high school.
