National Literacy Learning Progression
Understanding texts
UnT6: scans texts to locate specific information in a predictable print text (comprehension); uses cohesive devices to connect ideas or events (e.g. tracks pronoun referencing) (see Grammar) (process)
UnT7: monitors the development of ideas using language and visual features (e.g. topic sentences, key verbs, graphs) (comprehension); navigates text using common signposting devices such as headings, subheadings, paragraphs, navigation bars and links (process)
UnT8: uses knowledge of cohesive devices to track meaning throughout a text (e.g. connectives such as however, on the other hand) (see Grammar) (process)
UnT9: uses knowledge of a broader range of cohesive devices to track meaning (e.g. word associations) (see Grammar) (process)
