What if a child’s “I can’t read this” is really self-doubt in disguise? Inspired by Anne-Laure Le Cunff’s work on imposter syndrome, this post offers practical ways to support students who don’t feel like real readers—yet. #pernillerecommends #readingidentity #literacysupport
It’s Not That They Can’t Read… – looking at imposter syndrome and reading identity
How many times have we heard a child say, “I’m not good at reading”?Or watched one put a book back on the shelf, saying, “This is too hard for me,” even though we suspected that they could read it — if only they would give it a shot? Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about what stops kids from fully stepping into their reader identity.
