Australian Curriculum
English - Year 2
Year 2 Achievement StandardReceptive modes (listening, reading and viewing)By the end of Year 2, students understand how similar texts share characteristics by identifying text structures and language features used to describe characters and events, or to communicate factual information.
They read texts that contain varied sentence structures, some unfamiliar vocabulary, a significant number of high-frequency sight words and images that provide extra information. They monitor meaning and self-correct using knowledge of phonics, syntax, punctuation, semantics and context. They use knowledge of a wide variety of letter-sound relationships to read words of one or more syllables with fluency. They identify literal and implied meaning, main ideas and supporting detail. Students make connections between texts by comparing content. They listen for particular purposes. They listen for and manipulate sound combinations and rhythmic sound patterns.
Productive modes (speaking, writing and creating)When discussing their ideas and experiences, students use everyday language features and topic-specific vocabulary. They explain their preferences for aspects of texts using other texts as comparisons. They create texts that show how images support the meaning of the text.
Students create texts, drawing on their own experiences, their imagination and information they have learnt. They use a variety of strategies to engage in group and class discussions and make presentations. They accurately spell words with regular spelling patterns and spell words with less common long vowel patterns. They use punctuation accurately, and write words and sentences legibly using unjoined upper- and lower-case letters.

Understand that different types of texts have identifiable text structures and language features that help the text serve its purpose (ACELA1463)
Expressing and developing ideas
Identify visual representations of characacters’ actions, reactions, speech and thought processes in narratives, and consider how these images add to or contradict or multiply the meaning of accompanying words(ACELA1469)Understand that nouns represent people, places, concrete objects and abstract concepts; that there and three types of nouns: common, proper and pronouns; and that noun groups/phrases can be expanded using articles and adjectives (ACELA1468)
Understand that simple connections can be made between ideas by using a compound sentence with two or more clauses usually linked by a coordinating conjunction (ACELA1467)
Interacting with others
Listen for specific purposes and information, including instructions, and extend students’ own and others' ideas in discussions (ACELY1666)
Creating texts
Create short imaginative, informative and persuasive texts using growing knowledge of text structures and language features for familiar and some less familiar audiences, selecting print and multimodal elements appropriate to the audience and purpose (ACELY1671)
Re-read and edit text for spelling, sentence-boundary punctuation and text structure (ACELY1672)
Write legibly and with growing fluency using unjoined upper case and lower case letters (ACELY1673)
Interpreting, analysing, evaluating
Identify the audience of imaginative, informative and persuasive texts (ACELY1668)
Read less predictable texts with phrasing and fluency by combining contextual, semantic, grammatical and phonic knowledge using text processing strategies, for example monitoring meaning, predicting, rereading and self-correcting (ACELY1669)
Use comprehension strategies to build literal and inferred meaning and begin to analyse texts by drawing on growing knowledge of context, language and visual features and print and multimodal text structures (ACELY1670)
Literature and context
Discuss how depictions of characters in print, sound and images reflect the contexts in which they were created (ACELT1587)
Responding to literature
Compare opinions about characters, events and settings in and between texts (ACELT1589)
Identify aspects of different types of literary texts that entertain, and give reasons for personal preferences (ACELT1590)
Examining literature
Discuss the characters and settings of different texts and explore how language is used to present these features in different ways (ACELT1591)
Creating literature
Create events and characters using different media that develop key events and characters from literary texts (ACELT1593)
Innovate on familiar texts by experimenting with character, setting or plot (ACELT1833)

Considerations
Prior and future curriculumRelevant prior curriculumStudents require prior experience with:
exploring different ways of expressing emotions, including verbal, visual, body language and facial expressions understanding that the purposes texts serve shape their structure in predictable ways identifying the parts of a simple sentence that represent ‘What’s happening?’, ‘What state is being described?’, ‘Who or what is involved?’ and the surrounding circumstances exploring differences in words that represent people, places and things (nouns, including pronouns), happenings and states (verbs), qualities (adjectives) and details such as when,
where and how (adverbs) understanding the use of vocabulary in everyday contexts as well as a growing number of school contexts, including appropriate use of formal and informal terms of address in
different contexts recreating texts imaginatively using drawing, writing, performance and digital forms of communication creating short imaginative and informative texts that show emerging use of appropriate text structure, sentence-level grammar, word choice, spelling, punctuation and appropriate
multimodal elements, for example illustrations and diagrams re-reading student’s own texts and discuss possible changes to improve meaning, spelling and punctuation writing using unjoined lower case and upper case letters
Curriculum working towardsThe teaching and learning in this unit work towards the following:
Examine how evaluative language can be varied to be more or less forceful (ACELA1477) Understand how different types of texts vary in use of language choices, depending on their purpose and context (for example, tense and types of sentences) (ACELA1478) Understand that a clause is a unit of grammar usually containing a subject and a verb and that these need to be in agreement (ACELA1481) Understand that verbs represent different processes, for example doing, thinking, saying, and relating and that these processes are anchored in time through tense (ACELA1482) Learn extended and technical vocabulary and ways of expressing opinion including modal verbs and adverbs (ACELA1484) Create imaginative texts based on characters, settings and events from students’ own and other cultures using visual features, for example perspective, distance and angle
(ACELT1601) Plan, draft and publish imaginative, informative and persuasive texts demonstrating increasing control over text structures and language features and selecting print,and multimodal
elements appropriate to the audience and purpose (ACELY1682) Re-read and edit texts for meaning, appropriate structure, grammatical choices and punctuation (ACELY1683) Write using joined letters that are clearly formed and consistent in size (ACELY1684).
