Five Year 5 English lessons for the upper-primary literacy block: reading comprehension, writing, grammar and language, vocabulary and spelling, and informational text. Students analyse how texts are structured for different purposes, publish print and multimodal pieces, expand noun, adjective and adverb groups for richer description, spell using word origins and root words, and navigate texts with purposeful reading strategies.

Every deck is aligned to the Australian Curriculum v9.0 with its objectives displayed alongside, which keeps unit planning and assessment mapping honest. The informational text lesson is a standout for cross-curriculum reading, useful before a science or HASS research task.

As with all Chalkie lessons, you can present each deck as is or edit it first: change the model paragraphs, use vocabulary from your class novel, or add practice slides for a skill your data says needs work. Year 5 English lessons, minus the late-night deck-building.
