Reading Australia has 287 freely available teaching resources based on Australian books and literature, for both primary and secondary levels. Their new resources are all aligned to Version 9.0 of the Australian Curriculum, and older units gradually being updated too.
Teaching resources from Reading Australia
The primary resources have been developed by the Australian Literacy Educators’ Association (ALEA) and Primary English Teaching Association Australia (PETAA), and the secondary resources by the Australian Association for the Teaching of English (AATE) and NSW English Teachers’ Association.
These units of work are designed to help teachers navigate Australian texts within the framework of the Australian Curriculum. They include curriculum codes, sample classroom and assessment activities and links to other relevant online resources to assist with teaching and engaging students across a suggested time frame.
Titles are selected by Australian literature and literacy experts, teachers, writing industry stakeholders, First Nations writing representatives and diverse sector representatives. You can learn more about their text selection process here.
Reading Australia has partnered with the SCIS
Reading Australia’s resources are also discoverable through the Schools Catalogue Information Service (SCIS), making it easy for your school library to expand their catalogue with high quality Australian stories.
