Reading and Viewing
By the end of Level 3, students understand how content can be organised using different text structures depending on the
purpose of the text. They understand how language features, images and vocabulary choices are used for different effects.
They read texts that contain varied sentence structures, a range of punctuation conventions, and images that provide
additional information. They apply appropriate text processing strategies when decoding and monitoring meaning in texts, and
use knowledge of letter-sound relationships, and blending and segmenting to read more complex words. They can identify
literal and implied meaning connecting ideas in different parts of a text. They select information, ideas and events in texts that
relate to their own lives and to other texts.
