NAPLAN tests students in Years 3, 5, 7, and 9, assessing numeracy, reading, writing, spelling, punctuation, and grammar. Numeracy includes number and algebra, measurement and geometry, and statistics and probability.
Tutero’s NAPLAN preparation lessons cover key areas, offering practice questions and strategies for improved performance.
Tutero guides students in preparing for NAPLAN (National Assessment Program – Literacy and Numeracy), a significant evaluation in Australian education. Tutero's approach helps students build confidence and proficiency in literacy and numeracy skills required for success in the assessment. Students develop strategies to excel in reading, writing, and mathematical reasoning, ensuring readiness for the assessment.
The NAPLAN (National Assessment Program - Literacy and Numeracy) lesson plan incorporates enabling prompts aimed at reinforcing basic literacy and numeracy skills required for the test, along with extending prompts that prepare students for higher-order thinking questions typically found in NAPLAN.

Understanding NAPLAN Testing
Students are gradually introduced to the structure and expectations of NAPLAN testing through scaffolded lessons that reduce uncertainty and build familiarity. They explore sample formats across literacy and numeracy domains, understand the testing environment, and become comfortable with the process. These introductory lessons are designed to support early learners and are part of a broader suite of lesson plans aimed at building confidence in formal assessment scenarios. By Year 5, students show a strong understanding of NAPLAN’s purpose, which helps ease test anxiety and promotes a calm, focused approach.
Preparation Strategies
Students develop practical strategies to approach the NAPLAN test effectively. Lessons cover time management, reading comprehension, and how to approach both multiple-choice and open-ended questions. Preparation includes guided sessions using interactive tools like PowerPoints to walk through problem-solving steps and test simulation activities. These strategies are reinforced through diagnostic feedback and tailored adjustments, enabling students to identify their strengths and areas for growth. By Year 5, students confidently apply preparation techniques matched to their learning needs.
Practice Questions
Students work through carefully sequenced practice questions that reflect the NAPLAN structure. Starting with simpler tasks and progressing to full-length test simulations, they develop familiarity with question types and formats across numeracy and literacy. These exercises are supported by downloadable worksheets for continued practice and aligned with live assessments that help track readiness in real time. By Year 5, students are equipped with the confidence and test familiarity needed to perform successfully, having had extensive exposure to targeted content and continuous feedback.
