    Jim Smiley Presentation

    How can reading instructors develop materials that support engagement beyond traditional comprehension? This presentation introduces โ€™pedagogisingโ€™: an innovative approach that creates a structured sequence of interactive activities, transforming a static reading passage into a dynamic learning experience that promotes critical engagement with the text.
