NAPLAN Preparatory Workshops

WHAT IS NAPLAN?

The National Assessment Program or NAPLAN is an annual assessment for students in Years 3, 5, 7, and 9. NAPLAN tests include reading, writing, spelling, and numeracy. NAPLAN 2023 will be held from Wednesday 15th March to Monday 27th March.

NAPLAN consists of 4 tests:

Language conventions – 40 minutes for year 3 and Year 5

This test covers grammar, spelling and punctuation in context. Questions can be multiple choice or short answers.

Writing – 40 minutes for year 3 and Year 5

Students are given a stimulus or prompt and are asked to produce a response in narrative, persuasive or imaginative writing.

Reading – 45 to 50 minutes for year 3 and Year 5

Students are given some short pieces of text and demonstrate their knowledge and interpretation of language conventions in multiple choice and short-answer questions.

Numeracy – 45 to 50 minutes for year 3 and Year 5

Students demonstrate their knowledge of mathematical topics and numeracy skills in multiple choice, fill-in-the-blank or short-answer questions.
