Describe how different types of texts across the curriculum have different language features and structures depending on purposes <ul> <li>identifying the stages of a basic argument such as introduction, argument 1, argument 2 and conclusion</li> <li>describing the typical text structure and language features of factual recounts, autobiographies, information reports, narratives, personal responses to literary texts (with reasons), sequential explanations, verse poetry and simple arguments, and describing their purposes</li> </ul>
Discuss how an author uses language and illustrations to build plots and portray characters and settings in literary texts, and explore how mood is created through settings and events <ul> <li>identifying and discussing how the use of descriptive language creates setting, influences atmosphere and draws readers into events that follow, for example ‘The castle loomed dark and forbidding.’</li> <li>discussing the language used to describe the traits of characters in stories, their actions and motivations, for example ‘Dev was so lonely; he desperately wanted a pet, so he hatched a plan to get what he wanted.’</li> </ul>
Read different types of texts using phonic, semantic and grammatical knowledge to read accurately and fluently for meaning, re-reading and self-correcting when required <ul> <li>using phonic knowledge, word knowledge, vocabulary and grammatical knowledge to read unknown words</li> <li>reading a wider range of texts from different learning areas, including chapter books and informative texts</li> </ul>

Read different types of texts, integrating phonic, semantic and grammatical knowledge to read accurately and fluently for meaning, re-reading and self-correcting when needed <ul> <li>reading increasingly complex texts using established word identification strategies, knowledge of the topic and understanding of text structure and language features</li> </ul>
Identify the characteristic features used in different types of texts to meet the purpose and audience of the text <ul> <li>identifying how authors use language to create imaginary worlds</li> <li>identifying how authors use techniques, such as headings, italics and bold text, to support readers or viewers to navigate specific texts</li> <li>identifying visual features such as images and layout used in informative texts to complement, add to or shape understanding of a topic</li> </ul>
