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

• participating in pair, group, class and school speaking and listening situations, including informal conversations, discussions and presentations
• asking specific questions to clarify a speaker’s meaning, making constructive comments that keep conversation moving, reviewing ideas expressed and conveying tentative conclusions
• using strategies for discussion, such as speaking clearly, pausing, asking questions and linking students’ own responses to the contributions of others
