1. Phonics Lesson
The Phonics lesson is fully scripted. Lessons begin with a Warm-Up reviewing recently learned content. Each lesson has a clear target focus and an I do / We do / You do structure. Students engage in guided practice during We do, then immediately consolidate using the low-variance read-and-write sheet provided. Every lesson focuses on developing both decoding and encoding skills.
2. Daily Review
The Daily Review is a cornerstone of spaced practice. Students read and spell both regular and irregular words previously taught in earlier Sets. In the first three Sets, you’ll see frequent review of content from Sets 1–2—by design. At this early stage we are building new schemas, and frequent, spaced retrieval is essential. These routines are established early, and continue throughout SPELL@SPELD NSW Launch.
3. Fluency
The Fluency lesson mirrors the content of the Daily Review. Our goal is for students to gain the practice needed for automatic word reading (ie the ability to recognise regular and irregular words, on sight), which is the gateway to fluency. During Fluency, students engage in partner reading using the provided worksheet and decodable texts. We offer guidance—via our decodable book selectors—on which decodables align to the scope and sequence, and we encourage drawing on SPELD NSW Member resources for additional practice activities and games. The Fluency lesson is where reading confidence starts to flourish.
4. Handwriting
Handwriting is fundamental! Single letters are introduced alongside the Phonics instruction. On the same day students learn, for example, that ‘s’ represents /s/, they complete a focused Handwriting lesson practising ‘s’ in both lowercase and uppercase. In handwriting lessons students are introduced to the letter names. Throughout the Handwriting sequence, there are many opportunities to revisit previously taught letters for repeated practice.

Feedback so far
“The LAUNCH resources are clear and concise, and I really like the set-up of the columns in the scripts, which makes them very easy for teachers to read and follow. The usability feels strong and the instructions are straightforward. The required resources are clearly outlined, which will support smooth classroom implementation. The accompanying resources are fantastic, I especially love the reading fluency sheet. Overall, the materials are easy to understand, practical, and well-structured to support both teachers and students.”
