We absolutely loved using PETAA’s curriculum unit based on Runt by Craig Silvey in our classroom – it was so engaging that even our most reluctant readers got involved! Our school also loves PETAA’s Year of Texts and have implemented them in our K-6 classrooms because it means we know we’re teaching quality literature, and the detailed matching units of work are easy to adapt to our needs."
