Cristina Puig is co-founder of Fiction Express, one of the most awarded global EdTech products in recent years, including the Education Resources Award 2019, the Teach Primary Award 2019, the Education Investor Award 2019 and the Bett Award 2020, considered the “Oscar” of Education. Today, hundreds of thousands of students in almost 50 countries in Europe, the Middle East, Asia and Latin America use Fiction Express.
Fiction Express is an innovative book platform that connects students with professional authors, encouraging reading for pleasure through fun co-creation of stories. Every half-term, three books are published on our website in weekly chapters. What happens next is entirely up to the readers. Using their votes, they are able to decide where the plot goes next. Then the author will bring the most popular choice to life.
At this webinar Cristina will present Fiction Express and how it can help to boost the love of reading in your school. She will be assisted by two schools who currently use Fiction Express.
Delegates will be given a special offer ‘free trial’ to text the platform out for themselves!
Fiction Express establishes reading habits in students to improve lifelong learning outcomes.
