Thank you for this interesting podcast. I have been keenly following the work of Dr Coiro and the New Literacies Team as I am preparing a project focused on improving Year 8 students online and offline reading comprehension. Is there a way to improve all aspects of reading comprehension through more explicit teaching of online reading?

interesting podcast..one can never have too many resources to help and encourage students to read; and, reading online is a good way to spark interest and improve reading for young readers.
