identify features of literary texts, such as characters and settings, and give reasons for personal preferences

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

• discussing preferences for stories set in familiar or unfamiliar worlds, or about characters whose lives are like or unlike their own
• discussing their feelings about the positive and negative behaviours of non-human characters, such as animals
