About NAPLAN
The National Assessment Program – Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN) is taken by Australian students in Years 3, 5, 7 and 9. It assesses reading, writing, conventions of language (spelling, grammar and punctuation) and numeracy, and is held each year in Term 1.
NAPLAN measures skills built up over years of learning. Short, regular practice can help students feel familiar with the question styles and more confident on the day. Our free practice covers numeracy, reading and conventions; writing is best practised with feedback from a teacher or tutor.
A little practice each day helps more than a big cram the night before!
