To accompany and support the draft Years 7-13 English learning area we are also releasing a draft list of suggested texts that align to and exemplify the range, form and complexity of texts outlined in the curriculum. This draft resource includes limited examples only and is not representative of a comprehensive list. Using feedback from you, it will be extended, further developed and released with the final English learning area. 

We have made significant progress so far, thanks to the hard work of many people, and now is the time to seek broader perspectives as we continue to make improvements.   

Please have a read and let us know what you think.
