Classroom Starter Packs (Hard Copy)
PLD’s Starter Packs (Hard Copy) are our original sets of evidence-based classroom resources and remain one of the most effective ways to implement PLD’s Structured Synthetic Phonics (SSP) approach. Each pack combines the essential PLD programs aligned with the PLD Teaching Sequence Manuals and reducing teacher preparation time. The result is consistent, high-quality literacy instruction that supports both teachers and students. To make them even more accessible, each Starter Pack is offered at a 20% saving (compared to purchasing each book individually).

PLD’s hard copy Starter Packs for the Early Years target the pre-literacy skills that underpin later literacy success. They include PLD’s flip books for phonological awareness and alphabet sounds — quick-reference, low-prep tools for busy classrooms aligned to the Early Years Teaching Sequence Manual — plus resources for oral language, vocabulary, comprehension, and motor development to prepare children for a smooth start to literacy.
Foundation is a critical stage of literacy development, bridging pre-literacy skills into the first year of formal learning. PLD’s hard copy Starter Packs for Foundation target phonics, high-frequency words, and early spelling, while consolidating essential pre-literacy skills. Each pack includes resources for early writing and phonic dictation, along with practical Time-Saver word lists that link directly to PLD’s downloadable Foundation Teaching Sequence Manual, reducing preparation and supporting consistent, evidence-based instruction of PLD’s SSP.
Years 1 and 2 are essential for strengthening fluency in reading, spelling, and writing. PLD’s Starter Packs for Year 1 & 2 cover a wide range of skills, from pre-CVC word building through to oral language and sentence construction, supported by carefully differentiated phonic dictation. Packs also include practical Time-Saver resources that link directly to PLD’s downloadable Year 1 & 2 Teaching Sequence Manual, reducing preparation and supporting consistent, evidence-based instruction.
Years 3 – 6 consolidates core literacy skills, extending students into advanced reading, spelling, and writing. PLD’s hard copy Starter Packs for Years 3, 4, 5 & 6 target complex phonics, morphology, vocabulary, comprehension, and written expression. Differentiated phonic dictation and practical Time-Saver resources support teachers to deliver targeted instruction across a wide range of abilities, while linking directly to PLD’s downloadable Year 3, 4, 5 & 6 Teaching Sequence Manual.
