- of the importance of documenting learning to support progress and factors which can support or hinder progress in learning
- of different learning strategies and how they contribute to learning
- that texts have different audiences and purposes
- of reading strategies and features in a range of familiar and less familiar text types
- of basic structural conventions of text types, and
