Year 5 English Curriculum Package

Support students as they become thoughtful, articulate and independent communicators with this comprehensive Year 5 English Curriculum Package, professionally developed to align with the Australian Curriculum Version 9.0. Designed for Australian teachers, home-school families and educational organisations, this complete annual curriculum provides a structured 40-week scope and sequence that simplifies planning while ensuring full curriculum coverage.

Organised across four school terms, the curriculum systematically develops students' knowledge and skills across the Language, Literature and Literacy strands, preparing them for the increasing complexity of upper primary English. Students strengthen their reading comprehension, grammar, vocabulary, spelling and writing skills while analysing increasingly sophisticated texts, responding critically to literature and creating imaginative, informative and persuasive texts for a range of audiences and purposes. Throughout the year, students develop confidence in communicating ideas, evaluating information, collaborating with others and applying critical and creative thinking through meaningful language experiences.
