Teaching Young Children to Read, Write and Spell - Programs That Work

These Early Reading Programs are based on the knowledge that to become confident readers (and spellers) children need to understand the English alphabetic code, alongside developing phonemic and phonological awareness, fluency, vocabulary and comprehension. If taught well, these programs help ALL children, regardless of learning challenges.

Professional Development for Early Years Education Centres and Primary Schools

Join the 'Reading by Six' in Australia Campaign

A more proactive approach to the prevention of reading difficulties must now be taken. We know why so many children find reading and spelling difficult, and that if we allow them to struggle their motivation to learn decreases rapidly even after the end of the foundation / Prep year. Reading Experts explain how to help EVERY child succeed, and be reading by 6.

  • Read Australia™ promote and support quality providers who offer a 'Systematic' Approach to the teaching of phonics to
    children aged 3-8. This approach will also include all elements required for early reading development ie the direct, explicit
    systematic teaching of phonics combined with phonemic awareness, fluency, vocabulary and comprehension.
    You can see several of these above.

    Please note that we do not offer training in these methods
    - although we can offer Jolly Phonics Training if requested, as Accredited Jolly Phonics Training Providers.

    The Read Australia™ approach (Discovering Sound Pics) is simply that; an approach. It is not a specific programme and
    can therefore be used alongside any synthetic/ systematic phonics based programme, and to reinforce 'why' the chosen programme is being used. It offers the concepts and principles required to teach ALL children to read by 6, and allows for flexibility and creativity.There is a very strong focus on phonemic awareness development.
