Reference Tools
"When students read, respond to, and think critically about texts, they use appropriate skills and technologies to locate and use a range of texts for specific purposes."(LLP)
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.
