 * =NAPLAN lessons for teachers to use=

There are a couple of lessons that target specific skills for NAPLAN in the knowledge bases in the folder 10 NAPLAN targetted lessons. These are a sample of other lessons available another folder of NAPLAN lessons developed in NSW.

You should explain and teach 'narrative writing' to the students and discuss the assessment criteria. Hopefully this will be laregly revision as they have done this test before. Students also need to be explicitly instructed on planning strategies for writing to time.

For reading and language if you examine a number of tests yourself you will soon see what metalnguage students need to know. Do some revision of these terms and the literacy skills they apply to. Revise for example basic parts of speech, basic spelling rules, punctuation (labels and function) etc. Using the speicifically designed NAPLAN lessons will help and save us time in terms of coming up with our own material. || College Naplan results are stored in Knowledge Bases - 10 Naplan result 09. ||
