Year 5 English

EP English supports students in meeting the requirements of the Year 5 English curriculum by providing fun, engaging, challenging and thought provoking activities designed and scaffolded to increase intrinsic motivation and independent learning. EP English is also a valuable teaching resource that can be used by students to learn independently at home under the direction of their parents, who are able to assign tasks and track their children’s progress.

Students will encounter content aimed at meeting outcomes for the development of skills in language, literacy and literature across a wide range of texts, genres and modes. Throughout the comprehensive modules, courses and units, students will learn to become proficient communicators, independent readers and motivated writers, with an understanding of how texts are influenced by context, purpose and audience.

EP Year 5 English smart lessons consist of clear and engaging information sections followed by knowledge checks containing automatically marked questions which allow for self-moderation and progress tracking. At their core, smart lessons are designed to continually build foundational literacy skills emphasizing explicit fluency skills, punctuation, spelling, vocabulary and language feature competency.

EP English is designed to support teachers in delivering the Year 5 English curriculum by facilitating effective pedagogy through engaging and rigorous resources.
