It’s being proven to work when there’s ongoing skilled implementation.

It’s a way of changing teaching and learning – it raises achievement, and the progress is sustained.

RT3T™ is so popular with our kids

amazing resource, so different to what we have done

gives the power to the kids, not done to them, they’re so actively involved – that’s the value of RT3T™

we know that we’ve made a difference

it’s about so much more than literacy – it’s also about participation, team building and collaboration

we have to do this, it’s ethical practice

we learn by doing, we learn together with the kids

It touches so many bases so quickly

One of the best PLD experiences I have had in my 9 years of teaching! So positive, practical and well-supported. It was easy to communicate and any questions/queries were responded to quickly.

like the kids, the more we do it, the better we get at it

It’s not just a reading strategy, it’s a teaching and learning strategy, it supports investigation
