- Synopsis
- his 2nd edition of a PETAA bestseller text investigates how different genres of text work to achieve their purposes.The opening chapter unpacks what is meant by a functional approach to language in the primary classroom. The following chapters dive into the structure and language features of different genres (Recounts; Instructions; Narratives; Information Reports; Explanations; Arguments), and explore how they make meaning. Each genre-focused chapter includes 5 distinct sections: Curriculum context; summary of text features; a focus activity for teaching the genre; a language highlight of the genre and curriculum links. They also each include a different primary class case study to illustrate ways the genre can be taught.This text explicitly connects oral language, reading and writing in the primary classroom, powerfully demonstrating how an understanding of language and grammar supports students to become more proficient readers and writers.
