Ensure learners develop the skills they need to start on their reading journey, with
a strong focus on oral communication and phonemic awareness
Introduce letter-sounds in the order of natural speech development and expand
vocabulary using the flashcards and immersive Big Book stories
Build confidence and enjoyment in learning through much-loved nursery rhymes,
fun ditties, and child-centred games and activities
Embed letter-sound recognition using the accessible Activity Booklets that also
develop fine motor skills, mark-making, and emergent handwriting
Encourage children to navigate a book and provide practice of early blending
using vibrant reading books at Lilac and Lilac+ bands
One letter-sound is introduced each week.
The Teaching and Learning Cycle is followed
throughout the week to allow for flexibility with
young learners.
A typical week:
Monday
Revisit and review the previous
letter-sound and vocabulary
Tuesday
Teach the new letter-sound and
vocabulary using the Big Book story
