Overview
Diverse classrooms need a range of strategies that support learners of all abilities to effectively access, comprehend and synthesise information. This presentation will investigate how St Laurence’s College supports diverse learners through the integrated use of text sets and explicit instruction in ‘reading for meaning’. Text sets are an effective method of curating digital and physical resources that support student learning whilst simultaneously helping to support literacy development. By implementing text sets in research lessons, educators can create differentiated learning experiences that empower students to explore new information and extend their literacy at the same time. Texts used in conjunction with explicit instruction in ‘reading for meaning’ build student capacity as well as foster engagement, knowledge construction and critical thinking.
