Identify the purpose, audience, and context of a text and use this knowledge to support comprehension — recognising how writing aimed at different audiences (academic, popular, persuasive) uses different conventions, register, and tone
Mastery Evidence
- Identify the intended audience and purpose of a text and explain how the language choices reflect this
- Compare a newspaper article and a scientific report on the same topic, noting differences in register and structure
- Explain how knowing the historical or social context of a text deepens understanding
Assessment Prompt
When your child reads something written for a very different audience — like a scientific journal article versus a children's book on the same topic — can they explain how the purpose and audience shaped the language, tone, and structure?
