Workshop for teachers with Elisa Guerra

Reading to understand: Reimagining the teaching of reading

Cartagena 2026, 

According to UNESCO and the World Bank, one out of every two children in the world cannot understand what they read. Although there are many factors that contribute to this global learning crisis, we need to ask ourselves about how and when we have taught our children to learn. At this lecture for teachers with Elisa Guerra, we explore a practical proposal for the teaching of reading, as well as strategies to increase reading comprehension at any age.
