Junior Primary - Reading

This development of the Junior Primary Reading and Viewing Bandscales would not have been possible without the permission given to us by Penny McKay, Marilyn Newton and Catherine Hudson to adapt the bandscales from:

The ESL Bandscales. In NLLIA ESL Development: Language and Literacy in Schools. Canberra: National Languages and Literacy Institute of Australia 1994.
