understand that in sentences nouns may be extended into noun groups using articles and adjectives, and verbs may be expressed as verb groups

How Bloomi helps with this

This is a readiness-year topic that builds towards the next NAPLAN year. Bloomi practises it as curriculum mastery, never test drilling.

What this looks like in the classroom

• identifying nouns that refer to people, places, concrete objects and ideas in sentences in texts, and identifying the articles and adjectives that extend those nouns
• building extended noun groups using articles and adjectives; for example, “the longest side”
• building extended verb groups using verbs; for example, “gently touched”
