English extension tasks

Curriculum alignment

An extension task is a challenge activity for students who have met the objective early — deeper problems, open investigations and fast-finisher work that stays on the same content.

Resources on EduSellers are written by teachers in several countries, so there is no single curriculum behind this page. Each listing names the curriculum, standards or grade band it was written for — check the resource page for the year level (shown with its US grade equivalent) and the standards it addresses before you download.

English resources cover reading and comprehension, writing across text types, grammar, spelling and vocabulary, and speaking and listening — the early-years material leans on phonics and phonemic awareness.
