NAPLAN help for Years 3, 5, 7 and 9

NAPLAN is the national assessment for students in Years 3, 5, 7 and 9. It checks reading, writing, conventions of language (spelling, grammar and punctuation) and numeracy. The best preparation is steady, relaxed practice of everyday skills.

What NAPLAN covers

• Reading: understanding different types of texts
• Writing: planning and writing a text
• Conventions of language: spelling, grammar and punctuation
• Numeracy: number, algebra, measurement, geometry, statistics and probability

How to help at home

• Read together every day, and talk about what you read
• Practise spelling common words and tricky patterns
• Encourage short writing: a diary, a story or a letter
• Practise mental maths and times tables
• Keep it calm. Your child only needs to do their best

Where Tutzy helps

Tutzy is a friendly tutor that can help students practise the skills NAPLAN tests, at their own pace. It explains ideas step by step, asks questions and gives hints. Tutzy is not official NAPLAN material and is not affiliated with ACARA, so it works best as a way to build skills rather than rehearse the test.
