Teaching Critical Reading is linked to the v8.1 Australian curriculum and is based around 5 different text types: biographies, narratives, Greek myths, news reports and opinion pieces.

Students will learn to differentiate between these text types and use different language devices to achieve different purposes and target specific audiences.

To be able to read and think critically is essential for students in our contemporary society. Teaching Critical Reading will facilitate students’s growth of critical reading and thinking skills and prepare them to reason, imagine, debate, analyse, summarise and discuss.

Teaching Critical Reading is written specifically for Year 6 students studying English.
