Nelson Literacy Directions and the Australian Curriculum
The planning and writing of some of these texts pre-date the
Australian Curriculum but examination of the materials in
Nelson Literacy Directions shows that the
general capabilities,
cross-curriculum priorities and
content from the
Australian Curriculum are well supported.
Nelson Literacy Directions titles are organised by Arts, Humanities and Sciences. Many Humanities and Sciences titles support content from the
Australian Curriculum: History,
Geography and
Science. The Arts and some of the Humanities titles support current Arts and HSIE curricula in various states and will potentially provide support for the forthcoming
Australian Curriculum in these learning areas.
All big books, levelled texts and exemplar cards within
Nelson Literacy Directions 3–6 support the
Australian Curriculum: English. Some levelled texts and exemplar cards also support other learning areas within the
Australian Curriculum. More details are provided in the
Nelson Primary Literacy Catalogue.
