Reading & writing standards
students need to be able to use their reading
and writing as interactive tools to meet specific
learning purposes across the curriculum. This
means that students read and write texts in waysthat help them organise their thinking, construct
and create meaning, communicate information
and ideas in print and electronic texts, and reveal
their developing knowledge of content across the
curriculum.
