Welcome to the English medium literacy instructional series teaching and learning resources for years 1 to 8.
School Journal Story Library
School Journal Story Library is a targeted instructional series that provides additional scaffolds and supports for teachers to use to accelerate literacy learning for students in years 5–8 who are reading 1–2 years below expectation. The series is carefully levelled to include a balance of supports and challenges so students can meet the increasing demands of the curriculum as they encounter more complex texts.
- Level 3 texts have contexts and concepts linking to level 3 of the curriculum but a reading year level of year 4.
- Level 4 texts have contexts and concepts linking to level 4 of the curriculum but a reading year level of year 5–6.
