The Phonemic Awareness and Phonics Toolkit Grade 1 provides a structured, research-based program for developing phonemic awareness, phonics, decoding and reading fluency through small-group instruction. Designed for four students, the toolkit includes 60 standards-aligned lessons, each approximately 15 minutes long, using tactile, auditory, visual and kinaesthetic learning experiences. Students explore phonemes, letter-sound relationships and spelling patterns while strengthening connections between spoken and written language. Built-in differentiation, English learner support and assessment tools help teachers respond to individual learning needs and monitor progress, while the teacher guide and 3-year eBook licence provide additional instructional support.
