Board Reading? Games for literacy

Part of the ESRC Festival of Social Science 2024

Drop in to Leeds Libraries this half term to play some tabletop games that will help you practice your reading!  This event is on 28th October and will be at Garforth Community Hub and Library.

Find out how games can promote comprehension and vocabulary, and play some of our favourites, with researchers from the University of Leeds on hand to teach the games – and provide hints and tips for getting the most out of them.

Who’s leading the event?

Dr Peter Hart, Lecturer in Inclusion, Childhood & Youth.
