- Knowledge acquisition and transformation (KAT) is a text structure based framework with strong empirical evidence. Accumulating evidence continues to show that KAT helps children to select important ideas, encode strategic memory, generate main ideas, extend the main idea to summaries, and extrapolate inferences. The Literacy.IO team at Texas A&M University has prepared an asynchronous web-based professional development system to bring this intervention to a geographically dispersed audience worldwide. Through multiple grants from the US Department of Education, we are presenting this resource to all SSSR members at no cost.
