Who this masterclass is for

  • Year 2 students sitting NAPLAN for the first time in Year 3
  • Children who read and count well but have never worked to a timed paper
  • Families who want a calm, early start rather than last-minute pressure
  • Any Year 2 student who wants to accelerate their reading, writing and maths, whether or not NAPLAN is the goal

Why now

Year 3 NAPLAN arrives in March 2027, only weeks after school returns. This masterclass introduces Year 2 students to the four NAPLAN domains through short, confidence-building sessions, finishing with a timed Mock Test so the format holds no surprises.

Aligned to Year 3 NAPLAN

What is covered

Each afternoon targets one of the four areas the real test assesses. Here is what the official test looks for, and what NAPLAN Year 2 covers to meet it.

1

Writing

What the test assesses

One piece of writing, narrative or persuasive, in response to a prompt. Marked against ten criteria: audience, text structure, ideas, character and setting or persuasive devices, vocabulary, cohesion, paragraphing, sentence structure, punctuation and spelling.

What we cover

  • Both text types, and how to tell which the prompt wants
  • A planning routine that covers every marking criterion
  • Paragraphing, cohesion and sentence structure, the criteria most marks are lost on
  • Timed practice with feedback against the ten criteria
2

Reading

What the test assesses

A booklet of imaginative, informative and persuasive texts with questions that require students to locate information, interpret, infer, and evaluate and integrate ideas across a text.

What we cover

  • Locating directly stated information fast
  • Inference: reading between the lines with evidence
  • Author purpose, point of view and text structure
  • Vocabulary in context and pacing a long paper
3

Conventions of Language

What the test assesses

Assesses spelling, grammar and punctuation: identifying and correcting errors and applying the conventions of Standard Australian English in short, targeted items.

What we cover

  • Spelling rules and the high-frequency exception words
  • Punctuation: sentence boundaries, commas, apostrophes, speech marks
  • Grammar: tense, agreement, pronouns, sentence types
  • The NAPLAN item formats, so nothing is unfamiliar
4

Numeracy

What the test assesses

Covers the Australian Curriculum strands: Number, Algebra, Measurement, Space, Statistics and Probability. Questions range from fluency to multi-step problem solving in context. No calculator is allowed in the Year 3 and Year 5 tests.

What we cover

  • Every strand at the Year 3 standard
  • Worded problems: choosing the operation and checking the answer
  • Measurement, shape and data questions, the ones most often skipped
  • Timed sets in the NAPLAN format
