Foundation - Year 3 · English · Worksheet · $9.95 AUD
Decodable readers and systematic synthetic phonics activities for Foundation to Year 3, built on an evidence-aligned s-a-t-p-i-n scope and sequence that progresses to consonant and vowel digraphs. This Sound Steps pack gives busy teachers a complete, print-ready phonics block: a six-stage scope and sequence table linking each stage to its target graphemes and fully decodable example words, an original two-page decodable mini-text ("Sam and Nan") written using only taught sounds plus a tiny set of flagged heart words, and three matched worksheets targeting the core skills of blending, segmenting (phoneme boxes), and sound sorting (sh/ch/th). A hands-on grapheme word-building lab uses onset-and-rime word families, and dotted-thirds handwriting lines let children form each new grapheme. Every activity is explicitly mapped to Australian Curriculum v9 phonics and phonological-awareness descriptors, and the teacher notes translate the Science of Reading and the Simple View of Reading into classroom routines, including sound-button decoding, cumulative review, and the difference between decodable and predictable texts. A full answer key and a four-level reading assessment rubric make marking and running-record observation quick and consistent. Ideal for whole-class explicit instruction, small-group intervention, or targeted home practice. Australian English throughout.
