Reading Australia – new resources

By Mia Macrossan

Reading Australia – which turns 10 this year – is a Copyright Agency initiative to support the teaching and reading of Australian literature in schools. The website features 275 freely available resources written for teachers, by teachers, on books aligned to the Australian Curriculum.

Of these resources, 75 are for books written or illustrated by Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander peoples.

20 new titles are added to Reading Australia each year, with new resources published regularly online.
