explain how texts across the curriculum are typically organised into characteristic stages and phases depending on purposes, recognising how authors often adapt text structures and language features

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

• exploring a range of everyday, community, literary and informative texts, discussing elements of text structure and language features, and comparing the overall structure and effect of authors’ choices in 2 or more texts
• examining a text to identify strategies such as exaggeration to create humour
• recognising that texts are organised into stages such as an introduction and that introductions may be divided into phases; for example, the introduction stage of a narrative may begin with a phase that is a “hook” or a flashback
