Complete28 description opportunities and gaps

AC9E3LA01

understand that cooperation with others depends on shared understanding of social conventions, including turn-taking language, which vary according to the degree of formality

Local opportunities: Day41

Day41 and49 optional willing-reader exchanges offer turn-taking and a pass. Supplied responses alone do not demonstrate actual cooperation or interaction; formality beyond these familiar contexts remains to teach.

AC9E3LA02

understand how the language of evaluation and emotion, such as modal verbs, can be varied to be more or less forceful

Local opportunities: Day43

Day43 compares might/must and an invitation; Days46/49 consider evaluation and recommendations. Other contexts and forceful language need further examples and actual use.

AC9E3LA03

describe how texts across the curriculum use different language features and structures relevant to their purpose

Local opportunities: Day44, Day46

Days44/46 compare short report groups, routes, stories and invitations for specific purposes. Wider curriculum text structures remain.

AC9E3LA04

understand that paragraphs are a key organisational feature of the stages of written texts, grouping related information together

Local opportunities: Day44, Day49

Days44/49 group related ideas into short paragraphs. Sustained paragraphs across more texts remain, and tidy frames alone are not organising evidence.

AC9E3LA05

identify the purpose of layout features in print and digital texts and the words used for navigation

Local opportunities: Day44

Days44/46 use meaningful headings, route labels and a reader route. No actual digital navigation or all layout-feature purposes are established by these written briefs.

AC9E3LA06

understand that a clause is a unit of grammar usually containing a subject and a verb that need to agree

Local opportunities: Day42, Day43, Day47

Days42/43/47 make subject-verb agreement visible; D cases hold specific agreement edits. More clause and compound-sentence work remains.

AC9E3LA07

understand how verbs represent different processes for doing, feeling, thinking, saying and relating

Local opportunities: Day43

Day43 distinguishes thinking/feeling and instructions/saying in complete contexts. The range of process types remains broader than the supplied examples.

AC9E3LA08

understand that verbs are anchored in time through tense

Local opportunities: Day42, Day47

Days42/45/47 preserve source time and distinguish completed events from future plans. Wider tense control in independently composed work remains.

AC9E3LA09

identify how images extend the meaning of a text

Local opportunities: Day46

Day46 and C cases explain a specific added image detail and emphasis. No comparison is invented from a single large sign; further visual genres remain.

AC9E3LA10

extend topic-specific and technical vocabulary and know that words can have different meanings in different contexts

Local opportunities: Day49

Days49/50 replace vague referents with precise topic words. Technical vocabulary across topics and words with multiple contextual meanings need further teaching.

AC9E3LA11

understand that apostrophes signal missing letters in contractions, and apostrophes are used to show singular and plural possession

Local opportunities: Day47

Day47/D cases teach contractions, singular and regular plural possession with intended meaning supplied. Irregular plurals and broader independent use remain.

AC9E3LE01

discuss characters, events and settings in different contexts in literature by First Nations Australian, and wide-ranging Australian and world authors and illustrators

Local opportunities: Explicit gap / separate teaching needed

The full required range includes First Nations Australian and wide-ranging Australian/world authors. These original SubjectNest stories do not fulfil that author range. Teachers select authorised suitable texts and community guidance; no cultural stories or translations invented.

AC9E3LE02

discuss connections between personal experiences and character experiences in literary texts and share personal preferences

Local opportunities: Day45

Day45 offers optional connections and supported character preferences. Personal disclosure is never required; richer discussion across literature remains.

AC9E3LE03

discuss how an author uses language and illustrations to portray characters and settings in texts, and explore how the settings and events influence the mood of the narrative

Local opportunities: Day45

Day45/B cases link character noticing, setting and mood to supplied language. Full author/illustrator text range and more sustained literary response remain.

AC9E3LE04

discuss the effects of some literary devices used to enhance meaning and shape the reader’s reaction, including rhythm and onomatopoeia in poetry and prose

Local opportunities: Day45

Day45/B cases explore onomatopoeia and reader effects. Rhythm and additional literary-device examples need further explicit teaching and use.

AC9E3LE05

create and edit imaginative texts, using or adapting language features, characters, settings, plot structures and ideas encountered in literary texts

Local opportunities: Day45, Day50

Days45/50 adapt an original event from another perspective and edit one piece. Wider imaginative text structures and encounters remain.

AC9E3LY01

recognise how texts can be created for similar purposes but different audiences

Local opportunities: Day41, Day46

Days41/46/49 select wording/text for distinct readers. More same-purpose/different-audience work and actual reader use remain.

AC9E3LY02

use interaction skills to contribute to conversations and discussions to share information and ideas

Local opportunities: Day41, Day43, Day50

Days41/43/49 offer real willing-partner exchange with turn-taking. Only actual observed interaction supplies evidence; a supplied answer does not replace it.

AC9E3LY03

identify the audience and purpose of imaginative, informative and persuasive texts through their use of language features and/or images

Local opportunities: Day46

Day46/C cases compare route information, story and invitation using supplied clues. Wider text types and independent reading are separate.

AC9E3LY04

read a range of texts using phonic, semantic and grammatical knowledge to read accurately and fluently, re-reading and self-correcting when required

Local opportunities: Day48

Day48 invites teacher-selected taught-pattern reading and self-correction. Rich adult-read passages are not controlled decodables. Actual range, fluency and independent print-reading require separate observations.

AC9E3LY05

use comprehension strategies when listening and viewing to build literal and inferred meaning, and begin to evaluate texts by drawing on a growing knowledge of context, text structures and language features

Local opportunities: Day42

Days42/45/46 and A/B/C cases build literal/inferred meaning and limited evaluation from whole sources. Listening/viewing support must be recorded; broader comprehension range remains.

AC9E3LY06

plan, create, edit and publish imaginative, informative and persuasive written and multimodal texts, using visual features, appropriate form and layout, with ideas grouped in simple paragraphs, mostly correct tense, topic-specific vocabulary and correct spelling of most high-frequency and phonetically regular words

Local opportunities: Day41, Day42, Day44, Day47, Day49, Day50

Days41/44/45/47/49/50 plan, compose, edit and privately share small texts. Wider imaginative/informative/persuasive writing, compound sentences, independent spelling and publishing need additional work.

AC9E3LY07

plan, create, rehearse and deliver short oral and/or multimodal presentations to inform, express opinions or tell stories, using a clear structure, details to elaborate ideas, topic-specific and precise vocabulary, visual features, and appropriate tone, pace, pitch and volume

Local opportunities: Day49, Day50

Days49/50 offer rehearsal and optional spoken/signed/multimodal delivery. A written script or saved draft does not prove delivery, voice features or audience interaction; observe those separately.

AC9E3LY08

write words using joined letters that are clearly formed and consistent in size

Local opportunities: Explicit gap / separate teaching needed

Handwriting can be observed on optional blank pages only when explicitly taught. This fortnight does not provide a full joined-letter formation programme; adult dictation/typing cannot demonstrate it.

AC9E3LY09

understand how to apply knowledge of phoneme–grapheme (sound–letter) relationships, syllables, and blending and segmenting to fluently read and write multisyllabic words with more complex letter patterns

Local opportunities: Day48

Day48 uses selected taught sound-letter knowledge, syllable/word-part support and a whole-sentence check. More complex multisyllabic patterns and fluent independent range remain; no universal pronunciation is invented.

AC9E3LY10

understand how to apply knowledge of common base words, prefixes, suffixes and generalisations for adding a suffix to a base word to read and comprehend new multimorphemic words

Local opportunities: Day48

Day48 uses re- plus play and a known suffix in a complete sentence. Broader affixes, suffix spelling generalisations and multimorphemic vocabulary remain.

AC9E3LY11

use phoneme–grapheme (sound–letter) relationships and less common letter patterns to spell words

Local opportunities: Day48

Day48 offers a fresh spelling attempt after appropriate teaching, with conditions noted. No comprehensive less-common pattern set or mastery claim. Canonical code AC9E3LY11; the alignment PDF’s one AC9EFLY11 line is preserved as an anomaly.

AC9E3LY12

recognise and know how to write most high-frequency words including some homophones

Local opportunities: Day48

Day48/D-later distinguish supplied homophone meanings. Actual high-frequency word spelling, wider homophones and independent writing need further teaching and observation.

acara-v9:learning_areas:ENGENGY3 · ENGENGY3 · level_description

The English curriculum is built around the 3 interrelated strands of Language, Literature and Literacy . Together, the 3 strands focus on developing students’ knowledge, understanding and skills in listening, reading, viewing, speaking, writing and creating. Learning in English is recursive and cumulative, building on concepts, skills and processes developed in earlier years. In Year 3, students use spoken, written or visual communication to interact with familiar audiences for a purpose. Students engage with a variety of texts for enjoyment. They listen to, read and view spoken, written and multimodal texts. Texts may include oral texts, picture books, various types of print and digital texts, chapter books, rhyming verse, poetry, non-fiction, film, multimodal texts, dramatic performances, and texts used by students as models for constructing their own work. In Year 3, students engage with a range of texts that support and extend them as independent readers. Informative texts include content of increasing complexity and technicality about topics of interest and topics being studied in other areas of the curriculum. Literary texts may describe events that extend over several pages, unusual happenings within a framework of familiar experiences and may include images that extend meaning. These texts use language features including varied sentence structures, some unfamiliar vocabulary, a significant number of high-frequency words that can be decoded using phonic and morphemic knowledge, a variety of punctuation conventions, and illustrations and diagrams that support and extend the printed text. The range of literary texts for Foundation to Year 10 comprises the oral narrative traditions and literature of First Nations Australians, and classic and contemporary literature from wide-ranging Australian and world authors, including texts from and about Asia. Year 3 students create imaginative, informative and persuasive types of texts, which may include narratives, procedures, performances, reports, reviews, poetry and argument for particular purposes and audiences.

By the end of Year 3, students interact with others, and listen to and create spoken and/or multimodal texts including stories. They relate ideas; express opinion, preferences and appreciation of texts; and include relevant details from learnt topics, topics of interest or texts. They group, logically sequence and link ideas. They use language features including topic-specific vocabulary, and/or visual features and features of voice. They read, view and comprehend texts, recognising their purpose and audience. They identify literal meaning and explain inferred meaning. They describe how stories are developed through characters and/or events. They describe how texts are structured and presented. They describe the language features of texts including topic-specific vocabulary and literary devices, and how visual features extend meaning. They read fluently, using phonic, morphemic and grammatical knowledge to read multisyllabic words with more complex letter patterns. They create written and/or multimodal texts, including stories to inform, narrate, explain or argue for audiences, relating ideas including relevant details from learnt topics, topics of interest or texts. They use text structures including paragraphs, and language features including compound sentences, topic-specific vocabulary and literary devices, and/or visual features. They write texts using letters that are accurately formed and consistent in size. They spell multisyllabic words using phonic and morphemic knowledge, and high-frequency words.
