What Year 1 English students should achieve
Coverage is judged against the achievement standard — not by ticking every content description. These are the official Year 1 English standard sentences this code builds towards:
- By the end of Year 1, students interact with others, and listen to and create short spoken texts including recounts of stories.
- They create short written and/or multimodal texts including recounts of stories with events and characters.
- They report information and experiences, and express opinions.
- They read, view and comprehend texts, monitoring meaning and making connections between the depiction of characters, settings and events, and to personal experiences.
- Ideas in their texts may be informative or imaginative and include a small number of details from learnt topics, topics of interest or texts.
- They use topic-specific vocabulary.
The Language progression either side of AC9E1LA08
