Rich Phonics Development


Flying Start to Literacy: Phonics follows an explicit and systematic sequence of skills and knowledge from common sounds of consonants and vowels to less common letter-sound correspondences.

There are three modules and seven units organised into teaching units that contain lesson plans, reviews and an overview of the accompanying decodable texts.

The 70 engaging, decodable texts follow the same sequence for the independent practice of newly learnt skills.

70 Decodable Texts

Exciting, engaging Decodable Texts match the teaching sequence and support the students as they develop fluency by providing practice at decoding and word recognition.

Teacher Support

Each module has a comprehensive Teacher Resource Book as its base and teacher notes are in the back of every student book and available for free download online.

Student Assessment

Assessment is built into the program for learning. Monitor students' progress by having them write instructions which provides opportunities for teaching phonemic awareness and letter knowledge.

Module One: Common sounds of consonants and vowels


This Module consists of Units One-Three and focuses on common sounds of consonants and vowels. The 30 illustrated texts in Module One support the practice of the letters and sounds and selected high-utility words.
