Curriculum Connection

The thinkSRSD framework is flexible, adaptive, and centered on writing to learn. Its curriculum connections are extensive, reaching across multiple areas of the Ontario curriculum, but heavily rooted in Strand D: Composition - Expressing Ideas & Creating Texts, and Strand C: Reading Comprehension - Reading & Responding to Texts, and Strand A: Foundations of Language and Mathematics in the 2026 Kindergarten curriculum.
