Today we're going to be talking about reading!
Across languages and cultures, reading looks different. It might be silent or shared aloud. It might happen on paper, on a screen, or through memory, performance and storytelling. For millions of people, reading is multilingual, communal and deeply woven into everyday life. Some recent reports suggest, however, that fewer people are reading long texts than was the case before the invention of social media.
Your host for this episode is Paul Ellis, Head of Thought Leadership at Cambridge. He is joined by Nayla Aramouni, Curriculum Programmes Manager.

Today, we're exploring the skills that prepare learners for life. These are abilities that go far beyond the classroom, such as critical thinking, resilience, collaboration, independence, and empathy.
We'll be focusing on two brilliant initiatives that nurture these skills: Cambridge Global Perspectives and the Junior Duke Award. Together, they're equipping learners around the world with the confidence and capability to succeed in school, at home, and in the wider world.
Your host for this episode is Paul Ellis, Head of Thought Leadership at Cambridge. He is joined by Rebecca Watkins-Wright, Curriculum Development Manager for Cambridge Global Perspectives, and Dawn Waugh, a former teacher and the founder of the Junior Duke Award.
