Location: Saturday

The Avenue project has been working towards raising awareness of extensive reading as a means of supporting language learners in the settlement sector across Canada. As this venture is gaining momentum, we have identified essential characteristics of a large scale, cohesive extensive reading program. In this session we will share these attributes with examples from the Avenue project. We will also share an update of our progress towards building a national extensive reading system.
