Every author writes for a reason - but purpose is only half the story. This Year 6 reading strategy unit teaches students to identify author’s purpose using the PIE framework (Persuade, Inform, Entertain) and then go deeper: analysing the author’s perspective, detecting bias, and comparing viewpoints across two texts. Aligned to AC9E6LY03 and AC9E6LA02.

Students begin by identifying primary and secondary purpose with signal word evidence, then progress through word choice analysis (denotation vs connotation, loaded language), the 4-question perspective framework (WHO, WHAT emphasis, WHAT absent, WHAT language), and three types of bias (selection, omission, framing). By Lesson 9, students write a comparison statement that names both authors’ perspectives and explains what the difference reveals.

WHAT’S INCLUDED

63 PowerPoint slides across 10 structured lessons
3 worksheets (6 pages total) - strategy introduction, guided practice, independent application
