Australian Curriculum

English - Year 3

Year 3 Achievement StandardReceptive modes (listening, reading and viewing)By the end of Year 3, students understand how content can be organised using different text structures depending on the purpose of the text. They understand how language features, images and vocabulary choices are used for different effects.

They read texts that contain varied sentence structures, a range of punctuation conventions, and images that provide extra information. They use phonics and word knowledge to fluently read more complex words. They identify literal and implied meaning connecting ideas in different parts of a text. They select information, ideas and events in texts that relate to their own lives and to other texts. They listen to others’ views and respond appropriately using interaction skills.

Productive modes (speaking, writing and creating)Students understand how language features are used to link and sequence ideas. They understand how language can be used to express feelings and opinions on topics. Their texts include writing and images to express and develop, in some detail, experiences, events, information, ideas and characters.

Students create a range of texts for familiar and unfamiliar audiences. They contribute actively to class and group discussions, asking questions, providing useful feedback and making presentations. They demonstrate understanding of grammar and choose vocabulary and punctuation appropriate to the purpose and context of their writing. They use knowledge of letter-sound relationships including consonant and vowel clusters and high-frequency words to spell words accurately. They re-read and edit their writing, checking their work for appropriate vocabulary, structure and meaning. They write using joined letters that are accurately formed and consistent in size

Considerations

Prior and future curriculumRelevant prior curriculumStudents require prior experience with:

identifying language that can be used for appreciating texts and the qualities of people and things understanding that different types of texts have identifiable text structures and language features that help the text serve its purpose understanding how texts are made cohesive through resources, for example word associations, synonyms, and antonyms understanding the use of vocabulary about familiar and new topics and experiment with and begin to make conscious choices of vocabulary to suit audience and purpose comparing opinions about characters, events and settings in and between texts discussing different texts on a similar topic, identifying similarities and differences between the texts identifying the audience of imaginative, informative and persuasive texts using 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 creating short imaginative, informative and persuasive texts using growing knowledge of text structures and language features for familiar and some less familiar audiences, selecting

print and multimodal elements appropriate to the audience and purpose re-reading and editing text for spelling, sentence-boundary punctuation and text structure.

Curriculum working towardsThe teaching and learning in this unit work towards the following:

Understand differences between the language of opinion and feeling and the language of factual reporting or recording (ACELA1489) Understand how texts vary in complexity and technicality depending on the approach to the topic, the purpose and the intended audience (ACELA1490) Understand how texts are made cohesive through the use of linking devices including pronoun reference and text connectives (ACELA1491) Incorporate new vocabulary from a range of sources into students’ own texts including vocabulary encountered in research (ACELA1498) Discuss literary experiences with others, sharing responses and expressing a point of view (ACELT1603) Identify and explain language features of texts from earlier times and compare with the vocabulary, images, layout and content of contemporary texts (ACELY1686) Identify characteristic features used in imaginative, informative and persuasive texts to meet the purpose of the text (ACELY1690) Plan, draft and publish imaginative, informative and persuasive texts containing key information and supporting details for a widening range of audiences, demonstrating increasing

control over text structures and language features (ACELY1694) Re-read and edit for meaning by adding, deleting or moving words or word groups to improve content and structure (ACELY1695)
