Practice inside ordinary work
Embedded instruction
The pupil can practise literacy while learning about volcanoes, writing a story or completing the homework they were already going to do.
Putting the target skill directly into regular reading, homework and classroom routines rather than teaching it in complete isolation.

The pupil is still learning about the topic they chose; the target skill is woven through it.

This is a simplified illustration. A real learning path adapts to the pupil, their age, their subject and the evidence in their work.
In plain English
The subject stays interesting.
Literacy practice is more useful when it has a purpose. A pupil can learn about volcanoes, write about a favourite place or answer a history question while the same target skill is quietly reinforced.
That means the support is easier to carry into real schoolwork, because it was practised in the kind of work the pupil actually needs to do.
