National Literacy Learning Progression
Understanding texts
UnT6: uses cohesive devices to connect ideas or events (e.g. tracks pronoun referencing) (see Grammar) (process)
UnT7: reads and views predictable texts (see Text complexity) (comprehension); navigates texts using common signposting devices such as headings, subheadings, paragraphs, navigation bars and links (process)
UnT8: reads and views some moderately complex texts (see Text complexity) (comprehension); uses knowledge of cohesive devices to track meaning throughout a text (e.g. connectives such as however, on the other hand) (see Grammar) (process); skims and scans texts for key words to track the development of ideas (process); understands precise meaning of words with similar connotations (e.g. generous, kind-hearted, charitable) (vocabulary)
UnT9: builds meaning by actively linking ideas from a number of texts or a range of digital sources (comprehension); uses processes such as predicting, confirming predictions, monitoring, and connecting relevant elements of the text to build or repair meaning (process)
