In this syllabus, the study of a wide range of texts is central to the study of English. This includes the study of texts which are widely regarded as quality literature, providing students with the opportunity for aesthetic experience and to develop an appreciation of the artistic expression found in texts. In the primary years of schooling, the study of text types, as part of a broader study of texts, is intended to facilitate student literacy skills and help to establish knowledge about the purpose and audience, structures and language features of a broader range of texts. In the categorisation of texts into 'text types', it is important to note that any such classification is to some extent arbitrary and that there is always likely to be overlap between ways of grouping and defining texts. While delivering courses that reflect the outcomes and content, the following text requirements should be addressed. Students in K6 must read, listen to and view a variety of texts that are appropriate to their needs, interests and abilities. These texts become increasingly sophisticated as students move from Kindergarten to Year 6. In selecting specific texts for study in English, teachers should consider the needs, interests and abilities of their students and the ethos of the school and its local community. Note: students with special education needs may not be able to use all or some of the language modes. Some students with special education needs communicate through a variety of verbal or non-verbal communication systems or techniques. It is important to take account of the individual communication strategies used by these students and make appropriate curriculum adjustments. 4,0:.0: #01 (.F: $.238G.H.0:9 (.GH * (.GH I (.GH J (.GH K B0 ./+5 &./G 9:31.0:9 H39: 9:31L .F/H-7.9 ,M; spoken texts print texts visual texts media, multimedia and digital texts. #+G,99 / 9:/N. ,M 7./G080NO :5. 9.7.+:8,0 ,M :.F:9 H39: N8P. 9:31.0:9 .F-.G8.0+. ,M; texts which are widely regarded as quality literature a widely defined Australian literature, including texts that give insights into Aboriginal experiences in Australia
