Textual literacy is a cognitively demanding activity, requiring students to make meaning of many aspects of a text such as its purpose, audience, ideas, language features and structure. The SOLO Taxonomy and Making Meaning series offers innovative and rewarding strategies for supporting this activity with visual maps and self assessment rubrics. These maps and rubrics help to scaffold the deep understanding of text that students need.
Book 1 introduces SOLO Taxonomy and the visual mapping for academic language that can help scaffold students when making meaning of visual and written literary texts. It also offers a guide to help students make meaning in two specific areas: text purposes and audiences, and ideas.
