Year 1 English skills () « back to years
The skills below are 100% aligned with Australian and New Zealand school curriculum and up to
90%+
with common core maths. Skills are organized into groups
and are ordered in a way we think would be useful. To master a skill, you will have to gain 10
stars
(In case of a classroom initiated time-bound practise session, the time you can practise and the
skill level is determined by your teacher).
There are 3 levels to each skill,
- Easy: A star will be taken away if you get 3 consecutive wrong answers.
- Medium: A star will be taken away if you get 2 consecutive wrong answers.
- Hard: A star will be taken away on each wrong answer.
Most skills have multiple type of questions with varying difficulties. If you keep getting wrong
answers, system will give you the simplest of question to answer. Idea is to
have
you master these skills with a ground up approach.
If you get a question wrong, a useful tip will be shown, you should read that and try to understand the concept.
All the best with your year 1 english. If you see any issue,
