Literacy knowledge and skills are essential to effective communication across all learning areas. However, the tools of language, including language conventions, are explicitly developed in the English learning of each state and territory curriculum, and the language conventions tests are underpinned by the?Statements of learning for English?(MCEECDYA 2005). National minimum standards describe some of the skills and understandings students are generally expected to demonstrate at their particular year of schooling. There are two sets of minimum standards for language conventions –?minimum standards for spelling, and?minimum standards for grammar and punctuation. This is because it is not possible to establish a single assessment scale for all these areas. The standards are intended to be a snapshot of typical achievement and do not describe the full range of what students are taught or what they may achieve.The NAPLAN reading tests measure literacy proficiency across the English learning area in line with the?Statements of learning for English?(MCEECDYA 2005).In the Reading tests, students are provided with a magazine containing a range of texts that illustrate different writing styles. Students read the texts provided then answer related questions in a separate booklet.The skills demonstrated in reading are dependent on the complexity and accessibility of the text. Typically students engage with more complex texts as their reading comprehension skills improve. There is a very wide range of reading ability levels at each school year level so the tests start with simple, short texts and get increasingly longer and harder.Types of skills and understandings that students are generally expected to demonstrate at their particular year of schooling are described in the?minimum standards for reading.Why LiteracyPlanet Spelling Exercises are (games) so effective?Similarly to other effective spelling programs like Words Their Way, we know at Literacy Planet that learning to spell is developmental. Our approach to spelling incorporates the development of phonological knowledge; morphemic knowledge and etymological knowledge about words. Our exercises provide students with practise in applying all of the essential skills that they require to become effective spellers. These include segmenting and blending letters phonemically as well as identifying the visual graphic patterns in words for easy recall. (Exercise descriptions below)Our spelling lists have been compiled together beginning with words with similar phonetic principles in the early years. Lists are then compiled to group together words with similar semantic connections including prefixes, suffixes, meaning patterns, homophones and compound words for the middle years. Finally, the lists in the upper levels are grouped together based on their derivations. Therefore, the lists of words compliment the development of spelling (see attached overview). Our program is aligned to the Australian curriculum and specifically correlates to the national minimum standards assessed in NAPLAN.We know that all learners develop at different rates. We understand that providing differentiated learning for students is a complex and demanding task for teachers. By using our teaching matrix, teachers can assign spelling tasks to their students that match their levels of spelling development.However, this is where we can provide schools with benefits that other programs can’t. We provide a paperless, engaging platform for your students to work in. We provide immediate feedback to students and we collate data for you to easily assess and track the progress of your students. Why are the LiteracyPlanet Reading Comprehension Exercises so effective?LiteracyPlanet’s comprehension section is organised into levels from Foundation to Level 9. The overlap in the levels will provide for a wide range of abilities within each year level. Every comprehension exercise available in Foundation and Level One comes with audio support.The content in each level has been graded as closely as possible to Reading Recovery levels, PM Levels, Fountas/Pinnell Levels, DRA levels, Rigby Literacy levels, Lexile and Wings Reading levels.The twelve comprehension strategies covered in the exercises can be categorised into three main areas of reading:READING THE TEXTREADING BETWEEN THE LINESREADING BEYOND THE TEXTMain IdeaFacts and DetailsSequencing Cause and EffectComparing and ContrastingPredicting Words in ContextConclusions and InferencesComparing and Contrasting PredictingWord in ContextConclusions and InferencesHow do LiteracyPlanet exercises for NAPLAN link to The Australian Curriculum?The following tables outline the National minimum standards for Spelling and Grammar and Punctuation that are assessed in Years 3, 5, 7 and 9 in NAPLAN. You can use this table to match the individual learner needs to the year level that that are operating at, and then choose the appropriate exercises to develop their skills in these areas.Matching LiteracyPlanet SPELLING Exercises to National Minimum StandardsNAPLANYear LevelNational Minimum StandardsAustralian Curriculum Content Descriptors and how to use Literacy Planet Exercises to personalise learning and match learner needs.

Year 5In grammar and punctuation, Year 5 students at the?minimum standard?generally identify common grammatical conventions such as the correct use of conjunctions and verb forms. They typically recognise the correct use of punctuation in written English, such as the use of question marks and speech marks for direct speech.In grammar students can:identify the correct conjunction required to join a pair??of simple sentencesidentify the correct form of the verb required to complete??a sentenceidentify which adverb in a sentence describes how an??action took placeidentify the correct plural pronoun required to complete a sentence.In punctuation students can:identify direct speech that uses capital letters, question marks and speech marks.Year 4: The Fluent Reader & WriterLearn about exclamation marks, complex sentences, subjects, collective nouns, verbs, adverbs, adjectives, pronouns, commands, statements and questions.
