Engage With a Variety of Texts - Year 4 Learning Sequence

The Australian Curriculum:English Year Level Description for Year 4 states that students engage with a variety of texts for enjoyment.

These encompass traditional oral texts including Aboriginal stories, picture books, various types of print and digital texts, simple chapter books, rhyming verse, poetry, non-fiction, film, multimodal texts, dramatic performances, and texts used by students as models for constructing their own work.

The Year Four learning sequence contained in this post was developed by Year 3/4 teacher Melissa Bennett from Woodlands PS in our work as a Teacher Development School.

The sequence is linked to The Australian Curriculum - English content descriptions.
