In this section, you’ll explore how genre awareness can support learners in reading longer texts more effectively.
Different types of texts have distinct structures, purposes, and language features. When learners understand these patterns, they are better able to predict content, focus on relevant information, and make sense of what they are reading.
This section focuses on helping learners recognise and use genre conventions to improve both efficiency and comprehension.
Watch the video below to explore how genre awareness can be applied in the classroom.
As you watch, consider how different text types influence the way learners read, and how you might support your students in recognising these patterns.
Now that you’ve completed the video, it’s time to check your understanding.
