Literacy General Capability - Understanding Texts

Level 5
Comprehension
reads and views simple texts independently (see Text complexity)

• locates directly stated information
• recounts or describes sequenced ideas or information
• identifies a clearly evident main idea in a simple text
• listens to texts to engage with learning area content (e.g. a text about family histories)
• reads and views the content of texts and describes new or learnt information
• expresses an opinion or preference for a topic or text with a supporting reason
• draws obvious inferences by integrating print, visual and audio aspects of simple texts (e.g. uses images and key words to infer a character’s job)
• identifies some differences between imaginative and informative texts (e.g. different styles of images in a fairy tale and instructions for a game)

Level 6
Comprehension

• reads and views simple texts and some elementary texts (see Text complexity)
• scans texts to locate specific information in an elementary print text
• recounts or describes the most relevant details from a text
• tracks ideas or information throughout the text
• identifies main idea by synthesising information across a simple text
• identifies the purpose of elementary informative, imaginative and persuasive texts (e.g. uses verbs and dot points to identify a set of instructions)
• explains how inferences are drawn using background knowledge or language features (e.g. infers character’s feelings from actions)
• integrates new learning from reading with current knowledge (e.g. "I know that insects have wings, but I didn’t know all insects have six legs")

Level 7
Comprehension

• reads and views elementary texts (see Text complexity)
• locates information or details embedded in the text
• identifies the main idea in an elementary text
• identifies the purpose of a broad range of informative, imaginative and persuasive texts (e.g. advertisements, diary entry)
• draws inferences and identifies supporting evidence in the text
• monitors the development of ideas using language and visual features (e.g. topic sentences, key verbs, graphs)
• recognises that texts can present different points of view
• distinguishes between fact and opinion in texts
• compares and contrasts texts on the same topic to identify how authors represent the same ideas differently
