English extension tasks

Curriculum alignment

An extension task is a challenge activity for students who have met the standard early — deeper problems, open investigations and fast-finisher work that stays on the same content.

Resources here are written against Version 9.0 of the Australian Curriculum, the version schools have been teaching from since the staged rollout began.

The Australian Curriculum: English is built on three interlocking strands — Language, Literature and Literacy — and Version 9.0 sharpened the phonics and phonemic-awareness content in the early years.

State-specific editions are available for 8 jurisdictions where the syllabus wording differs.
