We are experienced in designing and developing programmes that aim to support reading skill development. In particular, our ‘Reading across the Curriculum’ programmes have been effective in not only strengthening students’ reading ability, enriching students’ reading repertoire, but also developing their critical thinking as well as nurturing their interest in reading. These programmes make use of practical engagement and purposeful activities to enhance students learning experience. Some of these activities are readers’ theatre, paired reading, reading circle and journal writing. Our reading programmes strive to enable students to progress beyond learning to read to achieve reading to learn.
