What Year 6 English students should achieve
Coverage is judged against the achievement standard — not by ticking every content description. These are the official Year 6 English standard sentences this code builds towards:
- By the end of Year 6, students interact with others, and listen to and create spoken and/or multimodal texts including literary texts.
- They use and vary language features including topic-specific vocabulary and literary devices, and/or multimodal features and features of voice.
- They use and vary language features including sentence structures, topic-specific vocabulary and literary devices, and/or multimodal features.
- They spell using phonic, morphemic and grammatical knowledge.
- They explain how language features including literary devices, and visual features influence audiences.
- For particular purposes and audiences, they share, develop, explain and elaborate on ideas from topics or texts.
