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
Year 1 & 2 Language and Literacy Developmental Milestones
A booklet that provides an overview of language, literacy and motor milestones for children in Year 1 and 2 (Lower Primary – 6 to 7 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.
Children in Year 1 and 2 are characterised by curiosity and a desire to share their ideas with others. Literacy becomes a focus with children learning the power of reading to gain information and writing as a way to share ideas with others. Oral language skills, particularly narrative (storytelling) skills are also very important at this stage as children refine their language and transfer oral language to a written form. Initially written work is phonetic, however over time students should integrate their phonics and sight words and writing becomes more accurate. Oral reading should transition from a reliance on ‘sounding-out’ to reading in a fast and automatic manner. Over this period the processes of reading, spelling and writing should develop into a more “effortless” process. While literacy is a major focus within this period, for many students the development of reined motor and language skills may still require attention.
How to Use…
Please keep in mind, that every child’s development is unique and complex and a child may not follow these developmental milestones exactly. Although each child may develop skills at different rates, there is a predictable sequence of development. It is therefore important to consider the individual child when using these milestones.
Use these milestones and the associated tips and activity ideas to:
- Gain a sense of your child’s strengths and areas requiring development.

From $30.00$30.00 incl. GST Phonic Charts – Stage 2 contains 18 cards that focus on the following sounds: ‘a-e’ as ‘ay’, ‘e-e’ as ‘ee’, ‘i-e’ as ‘igh’, ‘o-e’ as ‘oa’, u-e as ‘y+oo’, u-e as ‘oo’, oa, ‘ow’ as ‘oa’, ‘oe’ as ‘oa’, ‘ie’ as ‘igh’, ‘ue’ as ‘oo’, ‘ue’ as ‘y+oo’, ‘ew’ as ‘oo’, ‘ew’ as ‘y+oo’, ‘ea’ as ‘ee’, ‘ow’ as ‘ou’, ou, ‘aw’ as ‘or’, ‘ir’ as ‘er’, ‘ur’ as ‘er’, ‘y’ as ‘igh’, ‘y’ as ‘ee’. Features: The charts can be utilised for the purpose of display or as flash cards. Extend phonic knowledge, whilst highlighting the sound structure and the vocabulary nature of the words. Writing is supported when students have access to environmental print, which consolidates concepts covered. Each set of charts is based directly upon the PLD’s Phonic & sight word sequence Other phonic posters, available in print or as eBooks, in this series: Alphabet Sound Charts – Foundation Font Phonic Charts – Stage 1 Phonic Charts – Stage 3 Phonic Charts – Stage 4 Sound Wall Charts: Sound Wall Charts for the Early Years (26 A4 coloured charts which focus on the alphabet) Sound Wall Charts for Foundation (42 A4 coloured charts which focus on the alphabet and Stage 1 digraphs) Sound Wall Charts for Year 1 (49 A4 coloured charts which focus on Stage 1 & Stage 2 digraphs) Sound Wall Charts for Year 2 & 3 (71 A4 coloured charts which focus on Stage 1, Stage 2 & Stage 3 digraphs) What is a sound wall display? A sound wall is an interactive display of phonic concepts and words that is organised by and/or emphasises individual sounds (phonemes). Commonly there is one wall for consonants and one for vowels. Sound walls focus on the formation of phonemes which gives young students a structure that helps them understand the foundation of language and written literacy. As we know from current research about the science of reading, children learn to read through the application of orthographic mapping, a speech-to-print process where letters are mapped to known speech sounds. Teachers need to harness this modern understanding by using sound wall displays as a teaching and learning tool in their classrooms to support the process of learning to read and spell.
