Abstract: [Slides from a presentation given online March 26, 2021 at the Georgia International Conference on Information Literacy.] In Web Literacy for Student Fact-Checkers, Mike Caulfield describes lateral reading as reading “across many connected sites instead of digging deep into the site at hand” (2017, ch. 16). Research indicates lateral reading is a powerful tool for fact-checking and online source evaluation. This interactive session will provide a comparison between lateral reading and more traditional vertical reading strategies for evaluating web sources, as well as sample interactive activities for teaching lateral reading skills in a variety of contexts.
