## 7. Writing · Use a recursive writing process to develop, strengthen, and produce writing appropriate to the audience, purpose, and discipline.

- [Writing Process Vocabulary](https://ai.page/c/writing-process-vocabulary/index.md): Know and use the vocabulary of the writing process — compose, plan, draft, revise, edit, proofread, genre, audience, purpose, narrative, recount, instruction, paragraph, sequence, and detail — and understand that these words describe distinct steps and decisions that all writers make, not just tasks to tick off
- [Sharing and Publishing Your Writing](https://ai.page/c/sharing-and-publishing-your-writing/index.md): Read own writing aloud clearly enough to be heard by peers and the teacher; use digital tools to produce and publish writing

- [Types of Sentences](https://ai.page/c/types-of-sentences/index.md): Choose among and construct simple, compound, complex, and compound-complex sentences to signal different relationships among ideas, varying sentence patterns deliberately for meaning, interest, and style
- [Organising Writing into Paragraphs](https://ai.page/c/organising-writing-into-paragraphs/index.md): Organise writing into paragraphs, grouping related material around a theme, and use simple organisational devices such as headings and sub-headings in non-narrative writing

- [Inference vs Explicit Meaning](https://ai.page/c/inference-vs-explicit-meaning/index.md): Distinguish between what a text explicitly says and what you have inferred, assumed, or read in — knowing which is which is fundamental to honest comprehension

- [Literal vs Figurative Language](https://ai.page/c/literal-vs-figurative-language/index.md): Distinguish literal from nonliteral (figurative) language in context and interpret common idioms and phrases

## 10. Vocabulary · Acquire and use grade-level academic vocabulary appropriately.

- [Domain Vocabulary Across Subject Areas](https://ai.page/c/domain-vocabulary-across-subject-areas/index.md): Acquire and use accurately academic and domain-specific vocabulary relevant to grade-level topics, including words that signal precise meaning in informational texts across subject areas

## 11. Foundations of Reading · Develop accuracy, phrasing, and expression/prosody while reading a variety of grade-level text to support comprehension.

- [Reading with Expression and Accuracy](https://ai.page/c/reading-with-expression-and-accuracy/index.md): Read aloud with accuracy, appropriate rate, and expression (prosody), re-reading familiar texts to build fluency and confidence, and using context to self-correct

## 12. Foundations of Reading · Know and apply phonics and word analysis skills in decoding and encoding (spelling) words.

- [Syllables (age 6+)](https://ai.page/c/syllables-age-6/index.md): Decode words of two or more syllables by breaking them into syllable chunks, applying knowledge that every syllable must contain a vowel sound, and blending the parts together
- [Prefixes and suffixes](https://ai.page/c/prefixes-and-suffixes/index.md): Read words containing common prefixes and suffixes from the Y3-4 programme, applying knowledge of root words, prefixes and suffixes (morphology and etymology) to read aloud and understand new words
- [Greek and Latin Roots for Word Meaning](https://ai.page/c/greek-and-latin-roots-for-word-meaning/index.md): Use knowledge of Greek and Latin affixes (prefixes and suffixes) and roots as clues to determine the meaning of unfamiliar words, building a bank of common roots and their meanings
