STRUCTURED LITERACY

Welcome to the Structured Literacy Page for the 

Tai Tapu Junior School (Yr 1-4)

HERE YOU WILL FIND:

  • Videos on how to say the sounds
  • Downloadable PDFs of decodable books for each concept

At Tai Tapu School we use the Ideal (Learning Matters) platform to ensure consistency and explicit teaching of Literacy across the school.

READING STRATEGIES




DOWNLOADABLE PDFs of DECODABLE BOOKS and other helpful information:
(Please note there are 40 concepts in Yr 1-8- more resources will be uploaded in the future) 

These decodable books are for Stage 1 students (generally in Yr 1-2 and students who need further support in Yr 3). If your child is reading these decodables, your teacher will let you know what text to access to support reading and building fluency at home. In class, they will spend 1 week on each text as there is a lot of unpacking of sounds, words, sentences, punctuation and then of the story.
