Foundation–Year 2 Picture Book Studies | 24 English Units Bundle

Build a complete early-years literature library with twenty-four picture-book study units for Foundation, Year 1 and Year 2. This mega bundle brings together a broad mix of familiar Australian and international story contexts while giving teachers classroom-ready pathways for comprehension, oral language, vocabulary, response and imaginative writing.

Students identify characters, settings, problems and solutions; sequence and retell important events; infer feelings, traits and motivation; discuss themes and messages; notice rhyme, rhythm, vocabulary and visual clues; build meaningful sentences; compare ideas; summarise; and create new narrative responses. Visual, oral, hands-on and written pathways support Foundation learners, Year 1 classes, Year 2 classes and mixed-level settings.

Every included unit remains a complete standalone teaching resource with a printable unit plan, editable teaching presentation, editable question-and-answer quiz, activities, games, differentiated worksheets, answer support, assessment and rubric. Use the collection as a full-year literature bank, select individual studies for guided reading and literacy rotations, or revisit priority comprehension skills through varied texts.
