What Students Learn in the Foundation School Year

The ‘Foundation’ year has different names across Australia and refers to Pre-Primary (WA), Kindergarten (NSW/ACT), Preparatory (QLD/ VIC/ TAS), Reception (SA) and Transition (NT). 

The development of literacy in early childhood and into primary school serves as one of the most crucial foundations for a child’s life.

Being able to read, write, speak and listen gives a child invaluable social skills and confidence to become healthy and happy into adulthood. 

Literacy development in early years can significantly impact a child’s career and personal happiness, through to becoming a balanced adult with all the necessary skills to cope with daily life. 

The Foundation school year is one of the most important years of schooling. This is the year that students learn to read, spell and write.

Please Note

While Starter Packs offer a budget-friendly option and are well-suited for schools with limited resources or multi-year classrooms (e.g. Prep – Year 3, or Years 3 – 6), we strongly recommend the Integrated SSP Kits for schools seeking a streamlined, consistent and high-impact Structured Synthetic Phonics (SSP) implementation.

Each Integrated SSP Kit includes all the essential resources a teacher needs in one easy-to-use box – reducing prep time, simplifying planning and supporting effective instruction. Designed to save time while maximising classroom outcomes, the kits offer the most comprehensive and efficient way to deliver PLD’s SSP approach.
