ABSTRACT
Aboriginal people, including school students, collaborated to write these contemporary, imaginative and engaging literacy resources. These Australian stories are told with an authentic Aboriginal voice that speaks to both their own people and the wider community. A diverse range of positive role models includes a mother who studies at night, a successful sportsperson, and strong families. A variety of genres is used. Some are written in standard Australian English, and some use Aboriginal English. The teachers guide provides clear lesson suggestions and proformas , which teachers can use or adapt, supporting a guided reading approach. The guide contains material which is ideal for group work and also tutor support activities. It also provides essential Cultural information for each title to support Aboriginal perspectives and the appropriate use of these resources.
