Inclusion of Asia-related texts into the study of English will assist teachers to realise the cross curriculum priority of Asia and Australia’s engagement with Asia in the study of English and to make an important contribution to student knowledge, skills and understanding of our region through the Australian Curriculum. The texts are presented in lists that relate to the content descriptions of the Australian Curriculum for English at each year or stage and offer a choice from a range of age appropriate texts. Each list from Foundation to year 2 can be sorted by author, title or setting and in addition by text type for years 3–10. Each text is accompanied by notes to assist teachers in text selection

They will develop knowledge and understanding of Asian societies, cultures, beliefs and environments, and the connections between the peoples of Asia, Australia, and the rest of the world. Asia literacy provides students with the skills to communicate and engage with the peoples of Asia so they can effectively live, work and learn in the region.
