Changes to English in Version 9.0
ACARA has called version 9 a "more stripped-back and teachable curriculum," and English teachers will notice there's more of an emphasis on phonics instruction than ever before.
Here are some other important changes that have come in the latest Aus curriculum, as well as some things that have remained the same!
- There's more of a cross-curriculum priority of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Histories and Cultures.
- References to 'predictable texts' and the '3-cueing system' have been removed from the new curriculum, along with 'combining contextual, semantic, grammatical and phonic knowledge.' Year 1 teachers will notice that the term 'visual memory' is also gone from mentions of reading and writing high-frequency words.
- The three strands of Language, Literature and Literacy remain as organisers.
- Content descriptors that deal with students learning word level knowledge and reading no longer appear in the 'Language' section. Instead, you will find them in the 'Literacy' section.
