Pre-Reading Program

Our Approach

As part of our school readiness approach, we have developed this pre-reading program in collaboration with the Ant’s in the Apple Phonemic Awareness Program. Our educators will also be drawing on other Phonic Programs content to support this including Jolly Phonics and Letterland Australia.

This pre-reading program has been designed to enhance each child’s understanding and knowledge of phonics. Phonics instruction teaches children how to decode letters into their respective sounds, a skill that is essential for children to read unfamiliar words by themselves.

We have attached some information below which outlines the purpose and benefits of implementing this pre-reading program within our service.

Our educators will be following the suggested order for introducing sets of alphabet sounds and focusing on these weekly. The phonics program will be linked with the school readiness program linking other learning topics and focus areas together.
