03 · Built on the Science of Reading

A Research-Based Pathway to Reading Success.

Foundations A-Z provides explicit, systematic and cumulative instruction grounded in the Science of Reading. Its structured K–5 pathway progresses from simple to increasingly complex literacy skills — so it is far more than a basic phonics programme. It supports learners throughout the primary literacy journey, from first sounds to confident, independent reading.

05 · Teacher-led and self-directed learning

Teach Explicitly. Let Students Practise Independently.

Foundations A-Z pairs strong, teacher-led instruction with self-directed practice students can do on their own — a blended model that gives learners more time on task while freeing teachers to focus where they add the most value.

At the front of the room

Teacher-Led Instruction

  • Clearly modelled lessons
  • Whole-class and small-group teaching
  • Printable and projectable materials
  • Phonics Skill Packs
  • Guided practice and intervention
On their own device

Self-Directed Practice

  • Instructional videos
  • Interactive activities and games
  • Digital decodable books
  • Self-paced skills practice
  • Assigned learning at school or home
  • Stars and incentives that encourage participation

Technology reinforces good teaching — it does not replace the teacher.

Self-directed practice extends the number of opportunities students get to read and apply new skills, while teachers keep their time for instruction, feedback and the learners who need additional support.

06 · Independent practice made fun

Practice Students Actually Want to Do.

Inside the student portal, learners reach diverse, multimodal practice that turns extra reading time into something they enjoy — with gentle, game-style motivation that keeps them coming back.

07 · Measurable progress and targeted support

See Progress and Know What to Do Next.

Assessments and classroom reports help teachers identify skill mastery and learning gaps. Based on how students perform, Foundations A-Z recommends appropriate resources for the next step.

  • Reteach skills not yet mastered
  • Reinforce current learning
  • Support targeted small groups
  • Provide additional independent practice
  • Enrich students who are ready to progress

More than reporting.

Teachers don’t just see where students are — they receive practical resources for the next instructional step.

Focused on visible, measurable progress and better-informed instruction — not guaranteed scores.

08 · Save teachers time and increase impact

Less Time Preparing. More Time Teaching.

Everything a teacher needs to plan, teach, practise and assess foundational literacy sits in one place — so there’s no searching across multiple sources, assembling phonics materials by hand, or working out every intervention resource alone.
