How do schools move beyond 'teaching reading' to creating a culture where students actually choose to read?

A culture of reading doesn't happen by accident; it’s built through curiosity, conversation, and collaboration. This session goes behind the scenes of one international school’s journey to make reading a visible, everyday joy.
