NAPLAN 2025: What’s New and How to Prepare Effectively
By Kiya Learning – Online Education
Experts in Australia
NAPLAN (National Assessment Program
– Literacy and Numeracy) is a crucial benchmark in every Australian student’s
academic journey. Conducted annually for students in Years 3, 5, 7, and 9, this
standardized test assesses skills that are essential for learning – reading,
writing, language conventions, and numeracy.
With NAPLAN 2025 around the
corner, parents and students are eager to understand what’s new and how to best
prepare for the upcoming format. At Kiya Learning, we believe that
early and smart preparation leads to success — and we’re here to guide you
every step of the way.
📌
What is New in NAPLAN 2025?
The NAPLAN
2025 format continues to evolve, reflecting Australia’s national
curriculum goals and education system priorities. Here are some key updates:
- Adaptive Testing Format: NAPLAN continues with its adaptive online format,
where questions adjust in difficulty based on student performance. This
personalises the experience and provides a more accurate assessment.
- Earlier Testing Window: As introduced in 2023, NAPLAN 2025 will also take
place in Term 1 (March) instead of Term 2. This helps schools
identify student needs earlier in the year.
- Reporting Bands Update: Proficiency standards introduced in 2023 are expected
to continue in 2025. Students will be assessed using four proficiency
levels: Exceeding, Strong, Developing, and Needs Additional Support.
Understanding these changes is the first
step in ensuring that your child is fully prepared.
📘
Understand the NAPLAN 2025 Format
NAPLAN tests cover four key areas:
- Reading
– comprehension of various texts.
- Writing
– narrative or persuasive writing tasks.
- Language Conventions
– spelling, grammar, punctuation.
- Numeracy
– problem-solving using arithmetic, measurement, and data interpretation.
The adaptive online test means that
performance in initial questions will determine the difficulty level of
subsequent questions. So, early accuracy is crucial.
At Kiya Learning, we guide students
through mock adaptive tests so they feel confident navigating the real
test.
📖
Read Regularly
To do well in NAPLAN’s reading and
writing sections, reading is your child’s superpower. Encourage them to
read:
- Fiction and non-fiction books
- News articles (age-appropriate)
- Magazines or educational blogs
Reading helps improve comprehension,
builds language skills, and expands general knowledge — all of which are vital
for NAPLAN success.
✍️ Practice Writing
The NAPLAN writing task requires
students to craft a narrative or persuasive piece. Here’s how your child
can prepare:
- Practice writing essays within a 40-minute timeframe.
- Focus on structure, clarity, and creativity.
- Use rich vocabulary and correct grammar.
At Kiya Learning, we offer NAPLAN
writing practice sessions with personalised feedback to help students
refine their writing style.
➗
Master Numeracy Skills
Many students find numeracy
challenging — especially in adaptive tests where question difficulty increases.
To succeed in NAPLAN Numeracy:
- Build a strong foundation in addition, subtraction,
multiplication, and division.
- Understand fractions, decimals, percentages, and
measurements.
- Practice problem-solving using real-world examples.
Our expert tutors at Kiya Learning
break down complex concepts and use interactive tools to make learning maths
fun and effective.
🧠
Build Vocabulary
A strong vocabulary is key for both
reading comprehension and writing. You can help your child by:
- Introducing a word of the day
- Playing word games and doing crossword puzzles
- Encouraging the use of new words in daily conversations
We integrate vocabulary-building
exercises in our NAPLAN preparation programs so students can express their
ideas clearly and effectively.
⏰
Develop Time Management Skills
Each NAPLAN section is timed, so
students must learn to:
- Read questions quickly but carefully
- Allocate time wisely
across sections
- Avoid spending too long on one difficult question
We train students through timed mock
tests so they learn to manage stress and pace themselves during the exam.
🧘
Stay Calm and Confident
Test anxiety can affect performance.
Help your child stay relaxed by:
- Ensuring proper rest and nutrition before the
test
- Practicing breathing techniques and positive
self-talk
- Reminding them that NAPLAN is just one part of their
learning journey
At Kiya Learning, we focus not just
on academic preparation but also on mental well-being and
confidence-building.
📄
Use NAPLAN Past Papers for Practice
Past NAPLAN papers are valuable
tools for preparation. They help students:
- Understand question patterns
- Practice under real exam conditions
- Identify weak areas for improvement
We use a wide range of official
and curated practice papers in our programs to ensure students are
exam-ready.
