Advanced Readers and Creativity: Towards 21st Century Best Practice

Advanced Readers and Creativity: Towards 21st-century Best Practice

Friday, November 10, 2023
2:30 PM - 3:30 PM East Coast USA Time
Location: Monterrey 2/3
Research is sparse on the talent development trajectories of advanced readers once they have mastered the skills of fluency and comprehension. When reading stops being classroom subject matter, creativity frameworks around Lubart’s divergent-exploratory and convergent-integrative modes provide a roadmap to better understand advanced/creative readers and to operationalize and measure this admixture of creative modes for future-ready reading training.

Learning Objectives:

  • Attendees will explore ongoing research characterizing a particular subset of adolescent advanced readers: those with high levels of skill, high avidity, and high identity engagement around reading.
  • Attendees will consider the ramifications of Lubart’s divergent-exploratory and convergent-integrative modes for advanced reading, de Ven’s depiction of reading as instance of scale variance, and interrelation between these models.
  • Attendees will discuss research and practice implications for consolidation of research-backed best practices around advanced reading and readers inclusive of creativity measures and operationalization and advanced reading as burgeoning identity.
