Repeated practice, phonemic awareness and progress check assessments with A4 Colour Cards and Worksheets.
Designed by a Speech Pathologist for use in schools and the home, this program for 5 to 6 year olds focuses on developing early literacy reading and spelling abilities with the phonic concepts sh, ch, th, oo, ee and -ck. The explicit teaching format incorporates multiple 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 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.

The document outlines how to implement PLD's literacy, Movement and Motor and Oral Language resources during the Early Years, Foundation, Year 1 & 2 and across Years 3 to 6. Each page provides suggested time frames and implementation recommendations.
The purpose of this document is to provide an implementation outline to assist schools in scheduling the PLD programs within a broad school-based strategy. When
A booklet that provides an overview of language, literacy and motor milestones for children in the foundation year (5 and 6 year olds). Tips for home and causes for concern are also outlined. The booklet can be photocopied back to back and then folded in half to provide a compact reference.

A fact sheet which identifies age related milestones for literacy development in children from 3 years of age. Included are decoding and spelling skill checklists for Stage 1 (or Year 1) through to Stage 5 (or Year 5).
Many parents wonder if their child’s reading skills are developing at the normal rate. While there are individual differences, there is a general progression of
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.

Strengthening the relationship between letters and sounds
Flash cards are a powerful instructional tool, not only are they an effective way to present, practise, consolidate and revise concepts at a whole class, small group or individual student level, but they also cater for the range of ability that presents in any class. Within Phonic flash cards, a wide selection of phonic concepts have been included making it a practical and handy resource.
For many classes, a proportion of students will present with advanced skills, a proportion will present with average or age-appropriate skills and a proportion will present with delayed skills. The students of greatest concern will be the students operating below the level of their peers. It is this group that will also require the greatest levels of on-going revision and consolidation. With this in mind, PLD have created Phonic Flash cards. One side of the flash cards are coloured and provide students with picture prompts. The other side lists the phonic concept without any supports. The resource also includes phonic concepts for the alphabet in stages 1-4.
How can Phonic flash cards be used in the classroom?
The traditional application, card flipping: The phonic concepts that have been covered in spelling lists can then be easily revised by collecting the associated phonic flash cards, hole punching the corners and placing them onto a metal ring. The specifically selected set of cards can be presented in an organised and time efficient manner.
Mount the flash cards on the wall for display: The display of the cards on a classroom wall creates an attractive wall frieze and thereby a phonic reference point for the students to source when engaged in written tasks.
Incorporate the flash cards into games: As a supplement to phonic-based spelling lists the flash cards can be incorporated into activities. This will help students be more curious and engaged in the task and thereby more likely to remember the concepts represented on the cards.
