By Year 6, students are not just reading texts, they are interrogating them: how does the author position me, and what choices made it work? These Year 6 English lessons cover reading comprehension, writing, grammar and language, vocabulary and spelling, and informational text, five slide decks for the last year of primary literacy.

The set aligns to the Australian Curriculum v9.0: analysing and evaluating how authors influence readers, experimenting with text structures and language features in published writing, sharpening ideas through precise verb choice and elaborated tenses, spelling through word origins, prefixes and suffixes, and comparing how media texts represent the same events differently. Each deck lists its objectives.

Use them as your explicit-teaching backbone, editing in Chalkie where you want your class novel, a current news story or your own writing samples on the slides. Year 6 English lessons that respect both the curriculum and your evenings.
