How Bloomi helps with this

This is a NAPLAN-year topic. Bloomi teaches it with a short explainer, guided practice, and NAPLAN-style questions — every one traceable to this exact code.

What this looks like in the classroom

• exploring “doing” and “saying” verbs in narrative texts to understand how they give information about what characters do and say
• exploring the use of sensing verbs and how they allow readers to understand what characters think and feel; for example, “He remembered his first day at school.”
• exploring the use of relating verbs in constructing definitions and descriptions; for example, identifying the relating verb “is” or “are”, “has” or “have” in descriptions of animals
