Is it necessary to upgrade from โStarter Packsโ to the Integrated SSP Kits if we already have Starter Packs?In short, no. Many schools will continue to achieve substantial literacy outcomes purely on the basis of implementing the Starter Packs. Teachers planning from various PLD programs find their knowledge of testing procedures, phonic sequence and implementation become more automated over time and with practice. Once confident, schools may consider upgrading from the Starter Packs to the Integrated SSP Kits, to further enhance the quality of the teaching and learning experience in their classrooms.
Integrated SSP Kits are recommended for schools to investigate with the following variables:
- Low ICSEA ranking.
- Students with poor entry levels.
- High levels of graduate teachers or impermanent teaching staff.

What Students Learn in the Foundation School Year
The Foundation school year is one of the most important years of schooling. 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).ย
In this Foundation school year, students extend their oral language skills into literacy skills, developing the ability to read, spell and write.
The development of literacy in early childhood and into primary school serves as one of the most crucial foundations for a childโs 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 childโs career and personal happiness, through to becoming a balanced adult with all the necessary skills to cope with daily life.ย
