ðŠðĒðð ðððððĒð§ð (n.) â the practice of reading a variety of texts across mediums with a long-term aim of developing an interest in reading and/or encouraging curiosity in the diverse perspectives expressed in the works of a wide range of authors. *âĢ

Introduced to me through the high school English curriculum, wide reading was a program designed to expose students to a wide variety of texts with diverse features and forms - cross-genre, language, and mode. There would be a set reading list with recommended and optional reading and a question to answer or reflect on per text - so that you'd actually (hopefully) engage! âĢ
In university, you'd transition to academic reading mostly only related to your field of study, but increasingly - ðēðĻðŪ are accountable for sourcing your own reading list. âĢ

This account is a personal documentation of my reading archives - I consume alot of media but frequently forget what I've read! For non-fiction text types, I'll usually document my key takeaways, but I'll try and keep it high-level for fiction to avoid spoilers where possible. âĢ

Thanks for visiting and I hope my posts inspire you to be curious about a new text, or engage with the world (whether fictional or real) through the perspective of someone different to yourself. âĢ
