Read aloud twice a week
Hearing text improves fluency and helps children catch meaning they skip when reading silently.
Practise finding evidence in the text
NAPLAN rewards answers that point back to the passage. Ask 'which sentence tells us that?' after each question.
Keep sessions short before test week
Ten minutes of focused reading beats an hour of anxious drilling the night before NAPLAN.
