NSW Outcomes:

EN2-RECOM-01 reads and comprehends texts for wide purposes using knowledge of text structures and language, and by monitoring comprehension.

By the end of this unit, students will:
  • Select and read texts of personal interest and to gather information for learning (UnT1)
  • Build topic knowledge, including key vocabulary, and activate background knowledge prior to and during reading (UnT1)
  • Identify different structures and features of persuasive, informative and imaginative texts
  • Understand that dialogue is a common feature of imaginative texts and recognise how quotation marks or speech bubbles signal interactions between characters
  • Adjust their mental model as reading presents new words and new understandings
    Identify different types of verbs that control meaning
  • Understand that word contractions are a feature of informal language and that apostrophes in contractions signal missing letters
  • Identify different types of connectives used by the author that support inference
  • Understand past, present and future tense and their impact on text meaning (GrA4)
  • Identify and use strategies to repair reading when meaning breaks down (UnT6)
  • Reflect on their reading experiences and identify texts of personal significance and pleasure

This resource isn’t just for NSW teachers - it’s fully aligned with the Australian Curriculum Version 9 too! The bundle also includes a complete unit of work with outcomes matched to the Australian Curriculum.

Australian Curriculum Outcomes:


AC9E4LY05 use comprehension strategies such as visualising, predicting, connecting, summarising, monitoring and questioning to build literal and inferred meaning, to expand topic knowledge and ideas, and evaluate texts
AC9E3LA07 understand how verbs represent different processes for doing, feeling, thinking, saying and relating
AC9E3LA11 understand that apostrophes signal missing letters in contractions, and apostrophes are used to show singular and plural possession
AC9E4LA04 identify how text connectives including temporal and conditional words, and topic word associations are used to sequence and connect ideas
AC9E4LA07 investigate how quoted (direct) and reported (indirect) speech are used
AC9E4LA09 understand past, present and future tenses and their impact on meaning in a sentence

Elaborations:
  • explore “doing” and “saying” verbs in narrative texts to understand how they give information about what characters do and say
  • explore the use of sensing verbs and how they allow readers to understand what characters think and feel; for example, “He remembered his first day at school.”
  • explore the use of relating verbs in constructing definitions and descriptions; for example, identify the relating verb “is” or “are”, “has” or “have” in descriptions of animals
  • identify different types of verbs and the way they control meaning in a clause
    using apostrophes to create contractions; for example, “do not” – “don't”, “will not” – “won’t” and “o’clock – of the clock”
  • recognise how authors use text connectives to create links between sentences; for example, “however”, “therefore”, “nevertheless” and “in addition”
  • investigate examples of quoted (direct) speech; for example, “He said, ‘I’ll go to the park today.’” and reported (indirect) speech; for example, “He told me he was going to the park today.” and why they have been used in different contexts
  • understand the tense that types of texts are commonly written in; for example, informative texts are usually written in present tense
  • make connections between information in print, images and sound
