Builds off the use-modify-create strategy and the-block-model to place a focus on reading and understanding code before writing it (e.g. use-modify-create#tipp--see)

Stage	Description
*P*redict	Students received a prepared program and predict what it will do perhaps using think-pair-share or small groups. Discussion between students is good
*R*un	Students test their predictions by running the program and verbalise the results and compare with predictions
*I*nvestigate	Based on the-block-model students use code tracing, explaining, annotating, and debugging to explore the program
*M*odify	Equivalent to the modify stage in use-modify-create
*M*ake	Students are given a new problem to solve using similar ideas/skills
