The Concrete to Abstract Thinking (Blank Language) section aims to develop a whole-school understanding and approach to developmentally appropriate questioning to support thinking through verbal reasoning and abstract thinking as part of oral language and reading comprehension. The professional learning is in two parts, designed so that schools would begin with Part 1, providing time inbetween Part 1 and Part 2 to develop aspects in practice, and time after Part 2 to further develop principles into practice prior to moving on to another aspect of the whole-school literacy, language and communication toolkit.
