Year 5 English
Students learn about text structures and encounter new and more complex language features. Students read and analyse texts containing complex sequences, non-stereotypical characters and events that may shift in time. They create a range of texts in which they can apply their understanding of textual construction and theme to consolidate increasing control of language. The second year of NAPLAN provides insight into individual progress and areas for particular support or extension.

Read reviewsEnglish confidence has increased
“My 10 year old has had a 'in person' tutor before Cluey Learning but they didn't really engage him and it wasn't effective. Our experience with Cluey has been really great for him, Melissa has really engaged him and worked with his personality so well. I think online tutoring at home worked especially well for us, its easier and the tutors are fantastic. As a result, his confidence with English has really grown. We are very happy with Cluey learning and would happily recommend them.”
