Readability Matters Partners with the EdTech Center @ WorldEd to Present a Change Agent Article the Readability Sandbox
Readability Matters is pleased to feature a fun article from The Change Agent, a magazine published for adult learners and their educators in our Readability Sandbox. Our partners at the EdTech Center @ World Education are working with adult educators to explore the impact of greater readability of text. They will use this article to demonstrate Readability Features to educators in their network.
The New England Literacy Resource Center, also a part of WorldEd, publishes The Change Agent. They work to provide a low-cost teaching resource that features writings by adult learners and inspires adult educators and learners to make civic participation and social justice part of their teaching and learning.
We highlight an article from the March 2021 issue of The Change Agent, written by Tweety Hsiao. Tweety explores the unexpected benefits of joining a book club in her piece, “The Ripple Effects of Attending Book Club.” Enjoy Tweety’s article here.
