Thinking Tools
Graphic organisers and analysis tools can assist learners to classify ideas and organise and communicate their thinking more effectively. This is a collection of templates available to copy and repurpose thanks to the generosity of teachers.
Reference Tools
Consider the deliberate inclusion of quality reference tools as part of an existing programme of learning to support learners to develop their independence in reading and in using texts to support their learning. Reference links to these resources within your learning site.
