Repeated practice, phonemic awareness and progress check assessments.
Introduction to the Program
This program is designed to support the development of early reading and spelling skills by focusing on CCVC and CVCC word structures. The resources focus on incorporating phonemic awareness and multi-sensory strategies to segment and blend words with adjacent consonants.
This is a PLD Individual Licence resource. By purchasing this licence, this program will be accessible as a digital flipbook that will be stored in your secure account on the PLD website and may only be accessed by an individual user, being the Purchaser.
The program will be accessible as a digital flipbook that can be accessed by the purchaser on any device for as long as the licence is active. An Individual Licence is valid for 12 months from the date of purchase.
Sharing of an Individual Licence or account credentials for the purpose of sharing an Individual Licence is a breach of Australian Copyright Law and PLD Terms of Use. For more information,

Repeated practice, phonemic awareness and progress check assessments
Designed by a Speech Pathologist for use in schools and the home, this program for 5 to 7 year olds focuses on reading, spelling and writing CCVC and CVCC blends. The explicit teaching format incorporates multiple Blends: CCVC and CVCC word reading and spelling tasks.
In order for phonic based reading and spelling materials to be effective children must possess adequate phonemic awareness skills. This resource incorporates a significant phonemic awareness element. While this is ideal for the dyslexic and learning difficulties population (who are typically insensitive to the phonemic structure of words and rely on the visual appearance of words) this approach has proven to effectively accelerate early reading and spelling skills with the more mainstream population.
Attention to mouth movements involved in producing the sounds in words heightens children’s attention to the phonemic structure and supports the organization of the letter symbols in spelling and the decoding of the symbols in reading. The combination of the attention to the oral, auditory and visual aspects achieves balanced word attack strategies and significantly accelerates the acquisition of the earliest reading and spelling steps.
The aim of this resource is to establish the ability to read and spell regular late Stage 1 phonic words. For some students, once this skill is established they then require multiple opportunities to practice this skill (e.g. reading 200 to 300 such words) before these basic words are read automatically (i.e. without sounding out). For students who require more practice and rehearsal, the games based program Stage 1 Single Word Decoding and Spelling Skills is recommended.
This is a PLD Whole School Licence resource.By purchasing this licence, this program will be accessible as a digital flipbook that will be stored in your secure account on the PLD website. The program will be accessible as a digital flipbook that teachers can access on any device for as long as the licence is active. A School Licence is valid for 12 months from the date of purchase and can be shared with all staff employed at the school.We highly recommend that either the Principal, Deputy Principal or a member of the admin team purchase the School Licence in order to manage the account and its users.

The Early Reading Screen presents an evidence-based alternative to whole-language reading assessments
The Year 1 & 2 Early Reading Screen is a quick single-word reading assessment. It presents words that gradually increase in length and phonic complexity.
Applying Phonic Knowledge to Extended Writing Tasks
Phonic Dictation: Stage 1 supports students to bridge the gap between correctly spelling test words and applying their skills to extended writing. By completing regular dictation tasks, students rehearse and reinforce their phonics and spelling knowledge in increasingly complex contexts, improving their ability to transfer skills to self-generated writing.
Dictation sessions are quick to prepare yet deliver significant benefits across key literacy areas, including:
Listening and auditory memory
Handwriting and language development
Spelling application
Program Includes:
A4, spiral-bound book.
Three levels of phonic passages: full-length passage format, ideal for Tier 1 students, and two shortened versions with reduced word counts for students requiring modifications.
Alphabet VC and CVC words.
Phonic concepts: /sh/ /ch/ /th/ /oo/ /ee/ /ck/ to CVC words.
Consonant blends: CCVC and CVCC words.
Phonic concepts: /ar/ /or/ /ay/ /ai/ /oy/ /oi/ /er/ /ing/
Additional passages covering concepts such as, prefixes, suffixes, high frequency words and homophones have been included in the APPENDIX section of the program.

This third app (from a set of four), has been designed for students who are working towards acquiring words with double consonants at the start of words (e.g. st, br, sm, tr) and at the end of words (e.g. mp, nt, ld, ft). CCVC stands for consonant-consonant-vowel-consonant words.
The app is most suitable for the following groups:
Year 1 students as they embark on the journey of learning to spell along with their peers.
Older students who are still acquiring the ability to spell with double consonants.
This one player game is designed to provide early spellers with multiple opportunities to: Rehearse CCVC and CVCC spelling words. Extend early spelling by gradually
