NSW Year 1 Extension Reading

Designing an independent reading task for your top-performing Year 1 students is an excellent way to stretch their skills under the new NSW English Syllabus.

With high-achievers at this Stage 1 level, we want to move past basic decoding and simple recall. Instead, we want to challenge them with deep comprehension, analytical thinking, and creative response—all while keeping the task structured enough that they can succeed entirely on their own while you work with other groups.

I am currently searching for the absolute best syllabus-aligned task structures to share with you.

Before I generate the perfect, ready-to-print task template and outline the step-by-step student workflow, let's tailor this exactly to your classroom needs.
