Year 7 · NAPLAN
Year 7 NAPLAN conventions of language practice
At this level the errors are subtler: a clause in the wrong place, a pronoun with no clear owner, punctuation that is defensible but not correct. Spotting them takes reading a sentence as a whole rather than word by word.
What the section covers
- Spelling
- Finding the misspelt word in a sentence, and spelling words that sound alike but are written differently.
- Grammar
- Clauses and phrases, modality, active and passive voice, agreement across longer sentences.
- Punctuation
- Commas that change meaning, apostrophes, quotation marks, colons and semicolons.
- Word choice
- Choosing the word that fits the sentence, and telling apart words that are close in meaning.
