Create texts that adapt language features and patterns encountered in literacy texts, for example characterisation, rhyme, mood, sound effects and dialogue (ACELT1791)

Comprehension

Read an increasing range of different types of texts by combining contextual, semantic, grammatical and phonic knowledge, using text processing strategies, for example monitoring, predicting, confirming, re-reading, reading on and self-correcting (ACELY1679)
