Explore the wonderful world of birds from the cheeky Australian Kookaburra to the exotic hoatzin 'stink bird', from the regal Bald Eagle to the humble turkey, from the soaring solitary albatross to the gregarious noisy toucan with that outrageous beak.

RAC3: Birds has something for all ages and all reading abilities.

Use this wide range of reading material as a motivating context for teaching comprehension strategies.

Use the information reports and follow-up activities as a starting point for an inquiry into the living world. As students gain control over information about birds, get an understanding of how information reports work and learn how to gather information that they own; they can be scaffolded into conducting their own inquiry about a bird of their choice.

Follow-up activities include posters, poetry, comic strips, Information Webs, vulnerability analysis, designing bird adaptations and upgrades and more.
