About reading & literacy tools
Reading and literacy tools cover the full span of the Australian Curriculum English — phonics, fluency, vocabulary, comprehension, and the writing end of the reciprocal. The tools here are chosen to fit an Australian classroom's Big Six of Reading framing: oral language, phonological awareness, phonics, vocabulary, fluency, and comprehension.
For early readers you'll find systematic synthetic phonics tools, decodable-text generators, sight-word practice, and CVC/CCVC activity builders. For developing readers there are fluency-check tools, running-record helpers, and comprehension-question generators tied to a chosen text. For upper primary and secondary, expect Tier 2 and Tier 3 vocabulary builders, inference tools, and literature-response scaffolds.
Where a tool aligns with a recognised approach (synthetic phonics, structured literacy, Orton-Gillingham, Sounds-Write–style routines), the card notes it. Tools that produce print-ready PDFs are flagged so you can prep a literacy rotation fast. Year-level filters run from Foundation through Year 10.
