Literature to support the Australian curriculum: Annotated lists of fiction and poetry Book 2 by Fran Knight and Pat Pledger
Pledger Consulting, 2017. ISBN 9781876678531
Recommended as a teacher reference for both Junior and Senior
School libraries and English faculties. This teacher resource book
makes the book selection work of Teacher Librarians and English
teachers much easier. It contains summaries of books organised under
themes consistent with the Australian curriculum: Asian themes;
indigenous themes, sustainability themes, poetry books, books
suitable for class sets and read alouds.
Within each heading, books are also grouped under 3 student year
level groupings: reception to year 3; years 4-6 and years 7-10.
Summaries indicate if teacher notes are available on the publisher
website.
Most titles have been published within the last 5 years and there is
a useful author index.
While the summaries are brief, there is sufficient for teachers to
decide whether to seek further information on a title. According to
