What Year 2 English students should achieve
Coverage is judged against the achievement standard — not by ticking every content description. These are the official Year 2 English standard sentences this code builds towards:
- They use text structures to organise and link ideas for a purpose.
- They share ideas, topic knowledge and appreciation of texts when they recount, inform or express an opinion, including details from learnt topics, topics of interest or texts.
- They write words using consistently legible unjoined letters.
- They create written and/or multimodal texts including stories to inform, express an opinion, adapt an idea or narrate for audiences.
- They use phonic and morphemic knowledge, and grammatical patterns to read unfamiliar words and most high-frequency words.
- They organise and link ideas, and use language features including topic-specific vocabulary and features of voice.
