UNIT 2 Lesson 1 – Informative Texts

Students engage with a range of informative texts that present content of increasing complexity and technicality.

Imaginative texts with related themes and topics may be selected to build background knowledge and vocabulary.

Students read, view and comprehend texts using phonic, morphemic and grammatical knowledge to read accurately and fluently as independent readers. They begin to evaluate texts by drawing on a developing knowledge of context, text structures and language features.

Through texts, students identify how informative texts such as factual descriptions, information reports, procedures and explanations are typically organised and how authors use language and visual features to present relevant information.

Students engage in shared and independent writing and/or learning experiences to write simple paragraphs about learnt topics, spelling multisyllabic words with more complex letter patterns. They create informative texts, using visual features, appropriate layout, topic-specific vocabulary and ideas grouped in simple paragraphs.
