Year 5 Text Structure Reading Unit | Australian Curriculum V9

Text Structure is a complete Year 5 reading strategy unit built around AC9E5LA03 - the Australian Curriculum descriptor that asks students to describe how texts use language features and are typically organised into characteristic stages and phases, depending on their purpose. It also draws on AC9E5LY03, which asks students to explain the characteristic features used in imaginative, informative and persuasive texts to meet a text’s purpose. Most text-structure resources stop at the five-structure identification level. This unit goes further: students learn all five structures with explicit named sub-types, recognise when real texts blend multiple structures, apply a 4-step process for comparing structure across two related texts, and write a structure-purpose statement that names both structures and explains why each author’s structural choice serves their specific purpose.
