Read the first 7 Target Audience flashcards as text

  1. A science article uses the phrase 'as you may already know from your Year 9 science class.' This phrase tells you the target audience is most likely:

    Answer: Students around Year 9 age

    Referencing Year 9 content signals the writer assumes the reader is at or around that level.

  2. A newspaper editorial argues that the voting age should be lowered to 16. The target audience most likely includes:

    Answer: General adult readers interested in civic and political issues

    Newspaper editorials on civic issues are written for engaged adult members of the general public.

  3. A book's back cover reads: 'Perfect for fans of Harry Potter and The Chronicles of Narnia who crave more magical adventures.' The target audience is most likely:

    Answer: Young readers who enjoy fantasy and adventure stories

    Comparing a book to beloved children's fantasy series targets fans of that same genre and age group.

  4. Which text feature signals that a text is aimed at an EXPERT audience rather than a general one?

    Answer: Undefined technical terminology throughout the text

    Using technical terms without defining them assumes the reader already has expert-level knowledge.

  5. A community notice about a local park clean-up day uses inclusive language like 'everyone is welcome.' This suggests the target audience is:

    Answer: The broad local community of all ages and backgrounds

    Inclusive language is used when writers want to reach as wide and diverse an audience as possible.

  6. An online article opens with: 'Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned investor...' What does this tell you about the intended audience?

    Answer: The audience spans a wide range of experience levels with investing

    Addressing both beginners and experienced investors signals the author intends a broad, inclusive audience.

  7. A NAPLAN-style reading passage is followed by questions about 'who the text was written for.' Which reading strategy BEST helps you answer such questions?

    Answer: Examining the vocabulary, tone, content, and any direct address to the reader

    Analysing vocabulary, tone, content, and direct address together gives the clearest picture of the intended audience.
