Australian Curriculum English - Literacy is a series of seven books to support the teaching and learning of literacy. The series focuses on the sub-strands of Interpreting, analysing, evaluating (Comprehension) and Creating texts (Writing) within the Literacy strand of the English Curriculum.
The series emphasises the following threads:
Purpose and audience
Reading processes
Comprehension strategies
Analysing and evaluating texts - YEAR 6 ONLY
Creating texts: Editing and Use of software have been included but Handwriting has not. Since English is a teaching and learning area where components are interrelated, links to sub-strands of the Language and Literature strands and other sub-strands of Literacy are provided to note where they occur within the book.
