What Year 3 English students should achieve
Coverage is judged against the achievement standard — not by ticking every content description. These are the official Year 3 English standard sentences this code builds towards:
- They write texts using letters that are accurately formed and consistent in size.
- They group, logically sequence and link ideas.
- They use text structures including paragraphs, and language features including compound sentences, topic-specific vocabulary and literary devices, and/or visual features.
- By the end of Year 3, students interact with others, and listen to and create spoken and/or multimodal texts including stories.
- 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 language features including topic-specific vocabulary, and/or visual features and features of voice.
