Throughout this unit, students will require ready access to ICT at a whole-class, small-group and individual level. Such ICT include spreadsheet software, graphing software, graphic calculators or mobile device apps. Note: A mobile device is a portable computing device, typically having a display screen with touch input or a miniature keyboard. Ensure that the use of ICT in the classroom, including mobile devices, complies with DET policy requirements - Advice for State Schools on Acceptable Use of ICT Facilities and Devices http://ppr.det.qld.gov.au/corp/ict/management/Procedure%20Attachments/Information%20Communication%20and%20Technology/advice.DOCX.

Australian Curriculum
English - Year 1Year 1 Achievement StandardReceptive modes (listening, reading and viewing)By the end of Year 1, students understand the different purposes of texts. They make connections to personal experience when explaining characters and main events in short texts. They identify that texts serve different purposes and that this affects how they are organised. They describe characters, settings and events in different types of literature.
Students read aloud, with developing fluency. They read short texts with some unfamiliar vocabulary, simple and compound sentences and supportive images. When reading, they use knowledge of the relationship between sounds and letters, high-frequency words, sentence boundary punctuation and directionality to make meaning. They recall key ideas and recognise literal and implied meaning in texts. They listen to others when taking part in conversations, using appropriate language features and interaction skills.
Productive modes (speaking, writing and creating)Students understand how characters in texts are developed and give reasons for personal preferences. They create texts that show understanding of the connection between writing, speech and images.
They create short texts for a small range of purposes. They interact in pair, group and class discussions, taking turns when responding. They make short presentations on familiar topics. When writing, students provide details about ideas or events, and details about the participants in those events. They accurately spell high-frequency words and words with regular spelling patterns. They use capital letters and full stops and form all upper- and lower-case letters correctly.

Curriculum Priorities - Pedagogy
ConsiderationsPrior and future curriculumRelevant prior curriculumStudents require prior experience with:
Understand that punctuation is a feature of written text different from letters; recognise how capital letters are used for names, and that capital letters and full stops signal the beginning and end of sentences (ACELA1432)
Recognise that sentences are key units for expressing ideas (ACELA1435) Recognise that texts are made up of words and groups of words that make meaning (ACELA1434) Understand the use of vocabulary in familiar contexts related to everyday experiences, personal interests and topics taught at school (ACELA1437) Recognise and name all upper and lower case letters (graphemes) and know the most common sound that each letter represents (ACELA1440) Understand how to use knowledge of letters and sounds including onset and rime to spell words (ACELA1438) Know how to read and write some high-frequency words and other familiar words (ACELA1817) Share feelings and thoughts about the events and characters in texts (ACELT1783) Retell familiar literary texts through performance, use of illustrations and images (ACELT1580) Use interaction skills including listening while others speak, using appropriate voice levels, articulation and body language, gestures and eye contact (ACELY1784) Deliver short oral presentations to peers (ACELY1647) Create short texts to explore, record and report ideas and events using familiar words and beginning writing knowledge (ACELY1651) Produce some lower case and upper case letters using learned letter formations (ACELY1653) Construct texts using software including word processing programs (ACELY1654)
Curriculum working towards The teaching and learning in this unit work towards the following: Recognise that capital letters signal proper nouns and commas are used to separate items in lists (ACELA1465) 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) Understand that nouns represent people, places, concrete objects and abstract concepts; that there are three types of nouns: common, proper and pronouns; and that noun
groups/phrases can be expanded using articles and adjectives (ACELA1468) Understand the use of vocabulary about familiar and new topics and experiment with and begin to make conscious choices of vocabulary to suit audience and purpose (ACELA1470) Understand how to use knowledge of digraphs, long vowels, blends and silent letters to spell one and two syllable words including some compound words (ACELA1471) Use knowledge of letter patterns and morphemes to read and write high-frequency words and words whose spelling is not predictable from their sounds (ACELA1823) Build morphemic word families using knowledge of prefixes and suffixes (ACELA1472) Identify aspects of different types of literary texts that entertain, and give reasons for personal preferences (ACELT1590) Create events and characters using different media that develop key events and characters from literary texts (ACELT1593) Use interaction skills including initiating topics, making positive statements and voicing disagreement in an appropriate manner, speaking clearly and varying tone, volume and pace

For example:
applying knowledge of variability of sound-letter matches making attempts at fluency and intonation selecting ideas from texts to represent characters and events applying new vocabulary appropriately in writing including ideas about what's happening, who or what is involved and the surrounding circumstances organising ideas into simple sentences sequencing ideas logically including images to suit the purpose and audience in multimodal texts re-reading writing and revising some ideas spelling words with regular spelling patterns correctly spelling high-frequency words correctly attempting to spell words with morphemes using capital letters and full stops writing using unjoined lower-case and upper-case letters understanding the variability of sound-letter matches
