Being in Australia, it can sometimes be difficult finding resources that are linked to and relevant to our curriculum. What I love about these books is that they are all Australian Curriculum linked. At the beginning of the books (and for some, on the side of the pages), it shows curriculum links.
Here is a closer look (I'm very visual and love to SEE things before I understand or make my mind up about it):
The Literacy texts are wonderful for whole class and small group instruction. They are a great tool for modelling those essential comprehension skills.
Don't be deterred by the amount of text for the little ones. I projected
some of the pages onto a whiteboard and we highlighted sections and
discussed the text and questions altogether as a whole class. Some of
your more highly able students may be able to complete some of the tasks
independently.
They cover so many different skills and I found them very useful. Be sure to visit RIC Publications, if you think that you may find these resources useful in your classroom.
I'll be back soon to share with you some of my back to school adventures!
