Reception Scaffolds

Something that helps learners to perceive, understand organize and retain relevant information.

Examples could be
glossaries
listening guides
interview guides or protocals
note taking frameworks

TappedIn notes that these are desgined to "take care of the fact that some students , some of the time, aren't full prepared to make sense of and fully make use of information we bring to them from more authentic and messy sources."

So we utilize structures to help them until they learn enough to do it for themselves. They just can't appreciate it because they can't take apart the information yet...when they can, they will understand what treasures you are bringing to them. With the power of the web, there are so many new things that they have never seen or had access to before that scaffolding will play an important part.
