The right tools to simplify your Term 1 NAPLAN prep
Preparing students for NAPLAN can be a tough balancing act alongside everyday classroom demands. Between covering the curriculum and ensuring every student stays engaged, it’s easy to feel the pressure. That’s why Education Perfect (EP) put together a quick list of ways to amplify your NAPLAN efforts and ensure your students feel confident in their literacy and numeracy skills ahead of the tests!
Why NAPLAN preparation matters
NAPLAN is an important assessment that helps educators understand where their students strengths lie, and where there are knowledge gaps. It’s an opportunity to see how they’re progressing and where each student might need the most support. Preparing for the numeracy and literacy tests doesn’t have to be stressful; with the right tools, educators can help every student feel more confident in their performance.
How EP can help with literacy and numeracy
1. Tailored learning paths
EP provides personalised learning paths for each student’s unique needs. For NAPLAN prep, this means your students can work through specific modules targeting literacy skills – like reading comprehension and writing conventions – as well as numeracy skills like problem-solving. This targeted approach helps students to focus on areas where they need the most improvement.
2. Engaging content
Scale your NAPLAN prep with interactive content designed to boost student engagement. EP’s content includes:
- Videos
- Animations
- Quizzes
All content is fully aligned with the local curricula, reviewed by experienced teachers and constantly optimised and updated for syllabus changes. This ensures that all numeracy and literacy prep on EP’s platform will practically help students when sitting their tests.
3. Practice with realistic tests
One of the best ways to ease students into the NAPLAN experience is to familiarise them with the test format. EP offers practice tests that closely mimic the real NAPLAN assessments. This gives students a chance to experience the test conditions and practise their time management skills in a low-pressure environment.
4. Detailed analytics
EP’s analytics tools are incredibly useful for tracking student progress. You can get a clear view of how each student is performing across different topics and identify any areas where they might need 1:1 help from their teacher. This means you can tailor your instruction to address specific needs, making your classroom processes more targeted and effective.
5. Flexible and accessible
Students can access EP resources anytime, anywhere. This flexibility allows them to continue their NAPLAN preparation outside of school hours, which is great for reinforcing what they’ve learned and tackling any tricky areas at their own pace.
