Whole School Literacy Plan
A Whole School Literacy Plan (WSLP) is one of the most effective ways to lift student outcomes and build high-performing schools. When all teachers follow the same evidence-based approach, students receive consistent instruction year after year. This consistency closes gaps, strengthens progress, and ensures every child benefits from a clear pathway to literacy success.
PLD’s WSLP makes this possible with aligned teaching sequences, screening tools, tracking sheets, and professional learning. This ensures PLD’s Structured Synthetic Phonics (SSP) is delivered with fidelity across classrooms, reducing teacher workload and providing every student with high-quality instruction.

PLD’s Whole School Literacy Plan booklet is an essential resource for leadership teams and teaching staff, showing how literacy, oral language, and motor skill development connect across the entire school. Designed for staff meetings and planning sessions, it clearly maps how PLD’s Stages build year by year, with suggested timelines and implementation tips. The booklet also outlines screening, tracking, and program recommendations to drive consistency and fidelity across classrooms. Schools can download a copy or request printed booklets to share with staff below.
Successful whole-school implementation depends on staff being confident and consistent with PLD practice. With staff turnover and year-level changes, ongoing training is essential. PLD recommends schools budget for annual professional learning so all teachers stay up to date and deliver the program with fidelity. As a guide, staff should refresh their PLD training at least every 24 months.
To implement PLD’s SSP successfully, every classroom must be equipped with its own resources. Sharing between staff reduces consistency and fidelity. Schools can use the Audit Form or Request a Quote tool below to check what they have and what they need.
Over time, classroom routines can drift. To keep PLD’s SSP running with fidelity year after year, schools need to refresh staff knowledge and refocus practice. The ‘Refresh & Refocus’ resources below help schools stay on track by ensuring staff are confidently delivering PLD’s SSP programs across classrooms and maintaining strong, consistent literacy outcomes.
