This chapter outlines the third generation of genre pedagogy, known as Reading to Learn. The chapter begins with its starting point in Indigenous education in Australia, and then outlines two key components: the design of classroom interactions and the model of reading. It next outlines strategies for reading three sets of genres: stories, factual texts and arguments. Each section includes strategies for preparing for reading, for reading in detail, and for using what has been learnt from reading to write new texts. The focus is on integrating reading and writing with learning the curriculum in the primary and secondary school.
