What are Year 3 NAPLAN’s top 2 bands?
The top 2 bands for Year 3 NAPLAN are:
– Band 8: Achieved by the top 5% of students
– Band 7: Achieved by the top 15% of students
In May 2018, national literacy and numeracy assessments Year 3 were administered to students in Years 3, 5, 7 and 9 throughout Australia. This report shows your child’s achievement in those assessments.
These assessments provide a snapshot of your child’s achievement at a point in time. The information contained in this report should be considered together with school-based assessments and reports.
From 2018 to 2020, NAPLAN is moving from a paper test to an online test to provide more accurate and precise information about what students know and can do. This means that during this period some students take NAPLAN on paper, while others sit the tests online.
Student results for both online and paper tests are comparable and are reported on the same NAPLAN assessment scale.
NAPLAN results should always be interpreted with care.
Your child’s teacher will have the best insight into your child’s educational progress.
Literacy assessment
The literacy assessments measured student achievement in reading, writing and language conventions.
Reading
Students were required to read a range of texts similar to those used in Year 3 classrooms and answer questions of varying difficulty to show their understanding of the material.
Writing
Students were instructed to respond to a writing prompt. This writing task required students to generate and organise ideas and demonstrate their skills in vocabulary use, sentence structure, spelling and punctuation.
Language Conventions Students were required to identify and correct spelling errors and answer questions on aspects of grammar and punctuation.
Numeracy assessment
The numeracy assessment measured student achievement across number and algebra; measurement and geometry; and statistics and probability. Questions required students to apply
mathematical knowledge, skills and understanding in a variety
of contexts.
