A fully-balanced and integrated approach to language, literature, and literacy for the Australian Curriculum.

The series provides a fully balanced and integrated approach to the study of language, literature and literacy, by drawing on the best in English teaching practice around the country. ALL TITLES IN SERIES:
"The range and quality of the resources, both print and visual, are immediately rich and compelling"
"The authors aim to promote rich pedagogies within and across the language, literature and literacy strand of the Australian Curriculum. This is achieved through playful engagement, big questions and immersive participation"
"There is an expectation throughout of robust enjoyment, a feeling that the writers want students to love English and 'value the power of the imagination and literary expression to provide pleasure and enrich life'"
"Overall, these are stimulating resources in tone and scope. Critical approaches underpin invitations to construct, compare, investigate and evaluate. Cognitively-demanding tasks are strengthened through individual and collective processes using graphic organisers, wikis and blogs. On multiple levels and in very diverse and intelligent ways, students' 'funds of knowledge' are mobilsed. There's a myriad of opportunities for students individually and collaboratively to extend imagination, communicate and create. These texts encourage me to wish I was still one of them."
