emergent Phases 1-2

simple authentic written multimodal texts

Texts used for the reading task should be written multimodal. This means that the texts should have the written mode and other modes such as visual and spatial modes. Examples: a written text with images, a web page with written text and images

At the end of the emergent level, students should be exposed to a wide variety of simple authentic written multimodal texts and be able to:
