Oxford Literacy Guided Reading - Levels 6-11
Early Stage
Students reading Oxford Literacy texts from Levels 6-11 are described as reading at the "Early" stage of the Oxford Literacy reading program. Typically readers at this level are required to:
- Check against at least two of the cueing systems: Does it make sense? Does it look right?
- Re-read to fix mistakes
- Break words into chunks or syllables and use analogies to problem-solve unknown words
- Use "skip and return" strategy
- Make links to prior knowledge to assist in understanding
- Adapt reading strategies to different text types
- Select books according to purpose for reading
- Use more complex grammatical knowledge to help predict unknown words and assist with meaning
- Adjust reading rate and phrasing according to text type and complexity of text
Student Texts
The Oxford Literacy student text versions include:
- a range of fiction and non-fiction titles
- non-fiction titles written for Australian Curriculum: English, History, Science and Mathematics, making reading even more meaningful and relevant (levels 1-23)

- a language focus that corresponds to both the Oxford Wordlist and the Oxford Wordlist Plus
