The Course for Teachers

The Professional Learning Progamme

Planning, implementing and evaluating the Reading to Learn strategies require skills in both classroom teaching and text analysis. These strategies involve detailed planning of classroom interactions, to ensure that all students are able to participate actively at the same high level. Planning these lessons requires linguistic knowledge to select appropriate texts, and to analyse their language patterns.
