Is reading still essential once students can access the curriculum — or is it just another demand in an already packed timetable? In this episode of At the Chalk Face, Craig and Dave dig into the role of reading across subjects, from vocabulary growth and comprehension to cultural capital and academic performance.
We ask:
- Should reading for pleasure only belong in English lessons?
- How can short, focused reading sessions fit into busy classrooms?
- Can AI tools that summarise texts ever replace the benefits of real reading?
Drawing on insights from research, teaching practice, and Alan Harrison’s How to Learn Computer Science, we explore how reading can empower students in every subject, including computing.
Whether you’re an English teacher, a computer science specialist, or simply passionate about education, this episode challenges assumptions and makes the case for building lasting reading habits in the age of AI.
