Language – Literacy & English outcomes

• Listening & TalkingI regularly select subject, purpose, format and resources to

create texts of my choice. • LIT 2-01a

As appropriate to the task I can select subject, purpose, format and resources when creating a text

LIT 2-01aWhen I engage with others I can adopt different roles

I am developing a range of skills to show that I value others contributions and I am beginning to use these to shape my thinking

LIT 2-02aI can use many of the features of spoken language such as: pace,

expression, emphasis and word choiceENG 2-03a

Language – Literacy & English Outcomes• Reading

Using what I know about the features and different types of texts, I can find, select and sort information from a

variety of sources and use this for different purposes.LIT 2-14a
