You mentioned Doug Lemov’s work on text selection in your webinar this week. I am surprised it is not more widely known. Wouldn’t it be a wonderful addition to new teacher’s back pack.

The new NSW K-2 English syllabus has text requirements and I assume they will also have requirements for 3-6 and 7-10 once they are finalised https://educationstandards.nsw.edu.au/wps/wcm/connect/db2f1812-ed3a-4739-8f05-11dbc7ede51b/text-requirements-for-english-k-2.DOCX?MOD=AJPERES&attachment=true

Agree with your perspective Rebecca. Just flagging here a couple of resources I've found really helpful over the years when working with teachers on explicit teaching of reading and writing.(They also have mathematics resources.) First Steps K - 6 (Literacy) https://myresources.education.wa.edu.au/programs/first-steps-literacy and Stepping Out 7 - 10 Literacy https://myresources.education.wa.edu.au/programs/first-steps-stepping-out-literacy . Kind regards!
