Though time has been taken to align the information in this resource with current best practices in reading instruction, many different approaches are used across various educational settings. While the creators of Early Learning Press have found the suggested activities to be successful in teaching, these resources are best used in conjunction with other high-quality phonological awareness and phonics resources.
A child’s performance in the suggested activities or assessments does not suggest a learning difficulty or disability. The activities may be used to introduce, practise and consolidate skills and the assessments used as a diagnostic tool to determine a starting point for literacy instruction. Specialist support may be sought by parents, carers or educators who have concerns regarding a child’s literacy development.
