Matched to student strengths & preferences
Can be set up with “reading to learn” activities as well as “learning to read” activity formats
Consider formats that can be used across modules
“Developing a library of resources for our learners to complement their explicit in-person instruction establishes and sets up independent learning opportunities and formats for the review and practice of curriculum material.” (Macomber 2010)
