Sharon addresses diverse reading challenges with older students. A Year 5 girl struggling with chapter book comprehension learns to apply visualisation effectively by keeping her “mind in the book” paragraph by paragraph. She develops a strategy of writing brief summaries at logical breaks. Another Year 5 student, transitioning from graphic novels to regular novels, discovers how text structure and organisation work.

The teacher later connects this reading challenge to the student’s writing issues, demonstrating how the Listening to Reading Protocol reveals critical connections between reading and writing skills.
