The aim of Reading to Learn is to support every student in a class to read
and write challenging texts at their grade level. Through carefully designed
guidance, all students are continually engaged and successful at each step of
the R2L teaching strategies. The program includes three levels of support that
can be integrated at various points in a teaching program.
Peparing for reading and modelling writing
The first level prepares a class for reading and comprehending curriculum
texts, then uses these readings as models for guided and independent writing
activities. These strategies can be used as a teaching method for any lesson
units in primary or secondary.
Detailed reading and writing
The second level is used to deepen students’ understanding of written texts,
and to use the information and language patterns from these readings in their
own writing. These detailed strategies enable all students to read challenging
curriculum texts with complete understanding, and to write successfully, no
matter what their starting levels. They are applied daily in primary and weekly
in secondary.
Intensive strategies
The third level provides intensive support for students to manipulate
language patterns in selected sentences, and to practise spelling, letter-sound
correspondences and fluent writing. These intensive strategies can be used each
day in early years to upper primary classes, and for additional support where
required for primary and secondary students.
