2.0 The Pedagogical Culture of the School
2.1 Instructional Approaches The context for this pathway is the engagement of students in the reading
process mitigated by effective differentiated teaching practices.
Pathway 2.1.2: Provide students with a wide variety of print, spoken, visual and media texts
• Provide opportunities through the curriculum for students to respond to
reading at various levels. • Vary the types and methods of presentation of texts and use strategies
that will encourage readers to be as active as possible throughout
the reading process.
Cedar Street- Reading Action Plan
3.0 The Teaching of Reading
Explicit Teaching of Cognitive, Metacognitive and Affective Strategies Students are able to decode and are learning to focus on using various comprehension strategies as they read texts. Students should also learn the skills necessary to respond to texts. The teacher models how to approach texts and emphasizes strategies to be used before, during and after reading.
Pathway 3.2.1: Teach a variety of reading strategies explicitly and in a progressive way •Implement reading strategies that will assist students to be strategic and effective readers.
Pathway 3.2.2: Support students who are at risk or experiencing learning difficulties •Use a range of reading strategies that will enhance interventions and differentiate teaching practices.
Cedar Street Reading Action Plan4.0 School Library
4.4 Promoting Books and Reading in the Library School library is to support and to promote reading throughout
the school. Furthermore, the school library is a place where
students have an opportunity to become engaged with new
texts/resources- digital and paper- and to exchange with others.
The new non-digital and digital acquisitions should respond to
the interests and needs of students and teachers.
Pathway 4.4.3: Organize activities showing how resources in the library take into account student diversity with regard to committed readers,occasional readers and reluctant readers •Promote public library reading programs.
