recognise that sentences are key units for expressing ideas

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

• learning that word order in sentences is important for meaning; for example, “The boy sat on the dog.” “The dog sat on the boy.”
• recognising the difference between a sentence fragment and a sentence; for example, “after school”, “Dad will pick me up after school.”
