Language

- Punctuation
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.
Your content plan appears in the learning environment, sequenced to your learning needs and accessible with ease by you and your tutor.

Welcome to Year 5 English, where your child will encounter a wide range of text types, written and multimodal, and learn how to evaluate the way in which they make meaning.
Perhaps the classroom just isn’t meeting all of your child's learning needs or they want to prepare for a specific assessment.
Structured around your child's individual needs and goals, our learning programs adapt over time to build confidence and offer the right help at the right time.

Based on the Australian National Curriculum for K-6, Cluey’s approach to primary English focuses on core literacy skills, including reading and writing techniques in the early years, and grammar and punctuation in the senior years. Our personalised approach gives your child the opportunity to slow down in the areas they find challenging to ensure they ‘get it’.

“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.”
