This is a 7-page unit from the Developing Comprehension skills and word knowledge series that covers:

Text

Understand that different types of texts have identifiable text structures and language features that help the text serve its purpose (ACELA1463)
Use interaction skills including initiating topics, making positive statements and voicing disagreement in an appropriate manner, speaking clearly and varying tone, volume and pace appropriately (ACELY1789)
Identify aspects of different types of texts that entertain, and give reasons for personal preferences (ACELT1590)

Comprehension

Use comprehension strategies to build literal and inferred meaning and begin to analyse texts by drawing on growing knowledge of context, language and visual features and print and multimodal text structures (ACELY1670)
Read less predictable texts with phrasing and fluency by combining contextual, semantic, grammatical and phonic knowledge using text processing strategies, for example monitoring meaning, predicting, re-reading and self-correcting (ACELY1669)
Compare opinions about characters, events and settings in between (ACELT1589)
Discuss how depictions of characters in print, sound and images reflect the contexts in which they were created (ACELT1587)

Understand that a sound can be represented by various letter combinations (ACELA1825)
Recognise common prefixes and suffixes and how they change a word’s meaning (ACELA1472)

Each individual text type covers a number of content descriptions across the Language, Literature and Literacy strands of Australian Curriculum English. The detailed lesson plans save valuable planning time and allow for individual student differences. Use all, or some, of the ideas provided to cater to the needs of your class.
