The STELLAR framework is not about simply reading a story; it's a research-backed methodology. It uses specific teaching strategies like Supported Reading, KWL (Know, Want to know, Learned), and Retelling to help students actively process and understand texts. At the Primary 4 level, a key focus is on "Texts that recount," which is exactly where the "Making Ice Cream" reader fits in. The curriculum is dynamic, having evolved into STELLAR 2.0, which places a greater emphasis on empathetic communication, creative inquiry, and helping students process information critically.
