Official code Workbook row Level Exact official content description Taught opportunity and limit
AC9E4LA02 505 Year 4 identify the subjective language of opinion and feeling, and the objective language of factual reporting Days 13, 17 and 20 sort source-supported report from a marked preference; no whole-year opinion-language claim.
AC9E4LA03 509 Year 4 identify how texts across the curriculum have different language features and are typically organised into characteristic stages depending on purposes Days 11 and 13 compare report, procedure and story stages; Check A transfers structure to a new page.
AC9E4LA04 514 Year 4 identify how text connectives including temporal and conditional words, and topic word associations are used to sequence and connect ideas Days 14 and 18 use temporal, conditional and causal links in short source-bound sentences.
AC9E4LA05 518 Year 4 identify text navigation features of online texts that enhance readability including headlines, drop-down menus, links, graphics and layout Day 12 examines a text-only online mockup's headline, breadcrumb, menu, link and headings; Check A is a new mockup, not a tested site.
AC9E4LA06 522 Year 4 understand that complex sentences contain one independent clause and at least one dependent clause typically joined by a subordinating conjunction to create relationships, such as time and causality Days 14 and 18 join a complete clause to a dependent because/if clause; a brief application only.
AC9E4LA10 532 Year 4 explore the effect of choices when framing an image, placement of elements in the image and salience on composition of still and moving images in texts Day 16 contrasts top and side framing; Check B asks what a side view foregrounds, not full moving-image study.
AC9E4LA11 534 Year 4 expand vocabulary by exploring a range of synonyms and antonyms, and using words encountered in a range of sources Day 17 tests whether a synonym or antonym preserves a source claim; limited word set.
AC9E4LY02 573 Year 4 listen for key points and information to carry out tasks and contribute to discussions, acknowledging another opinion, linking a response to the topic, and sharing and extending ideas and information Days 13 and 19 ask learners to acknowledge a listener's interpretation and respond to a question, in flexible modes.
AC9E4LY03 577 Year 4 identify the characteristic features used in imaginative, informative and persuasive texts to meet the purpose of the text Days 11 and 13 identify purposes and features of several text types; Check A transfers to a new page.
AC9E4LY04 581 Year 4 read different types of texts, integrating phonic, semantic and grammatical knowledge to read accurately and fluently, re-reading and self-correcting when needed Days 11, 12 and 16 include separate matched independent reading; adult-read packet comprehension is not fluency evidence.
AC9E4LY05 583 Year 4 use comprehension strategies such as visualising, predicting, connecting, summarising, monitoring and questioning to build literal and inferred meaning, to expand topic knowledge and ideas, and evaluate texts Across both weeks pupils locate, question, summarise and evaluate model limits; fresh checks sample transfer.
AC9E4LY06 592 Year 4 plan, create, edit and publish written and multimodal imaginative, informative and persuasive texts, using visual features, relevant linked ideas, complex sentences, appropriate tense, synonyms and antonyms, correct spelling of multisyllabic words and simple punctuation Days 14 and 18–20 plan, compose, revise and check short informative text; other genres need later work.
AC9E4LY07 598 Year 4 plan, create, rehearse and deliver structured oral and/or multimodal presentations to report on a topic, tell a story, recount events or present an argument using subjective and objective language, complex sentences, visual features, tone, pace, pitch and volume Day 19 rehearses one brief audience-specific oral/AAC/multimodal explanation and revises after a question.
AC9E4LY09 605 Year 4 understand how to use and apply phonological and morphological knowledge to read and write multisyllabic words with more complex letter combinations, including a variety of vowel sounds and known prefixes and suffixes Days 14 and 17 practise known morphemes and word parts; two fresh checks sample new forms after taught-prerequisite review.
AC9E4LY10 608 Year 4 understand how to use knowledge of letter patterns, including double letters, spelling generalisations, morphological word families, common prefixes and suffixes, and word origins, to spell more complex words Days 14 and 17 examine word-family spelling; fresh words invite explanation without asserting full spelling mastery.
