Australian Curriculum: English

In the English Reading and Viewing aspect of the Australian Curriculum Achievement Standard, students are required to independently read age-appropriate texts. Independent reading requires both the ability to decode (word reading) and make meaning from printed text (comprehension).

Students are not required to independently read texts for the Speaking and listening and/or Writing and creating aspects of the Australian Curriculum English Achievement Standard. For these assessment tasks, the text may be read to the student.
