understand that cohesion can be created by the intentional use of repetition, and the use of word associations

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

• noting how a general word is often used for a more specific word already mentioned (word association); for example, “Look at those apples. Granny Smiths are my favourite.”
• recognising how cohesion can be developed through repeating key words or by using synonyms or antonyms
